(4,558 posts)I dont see any path at all in the 2020 congress. At best, if we get the POTUS VP for the tie breaker, we may have the Senate majority by48+2/50 split and the VP being the tie-breaker.
2022 however has a map that has the potential to get a more comfortable majority back in the Senate. If we follow the tRumpulbicons lead and force it to vote for a majority, it is possible. Would really depend on who those senators we gain are, and how much support MFA will have within their own constituency.
If It can pass the 2022 Senate and theres public appetite for it, and we keep the house numbers we have now through then, it could pass.
Theres a lot of ifs there.
No matter what, we have got to get the case for this sold to the people of:
Ohio - Important for 2020 POTUS election, and critical for Senate 2022.
Pennsylvania - Critical for 2020 POTUS election, and Senate 2022
Wisconsin - Critical for 2020POTUS and Senate in 2022
All 3 of those states have Republican incumbents coming up in the Senate for 2022.
Need those Senators to be Democrats, and we need those Senators to pass any MFA measure... which means.. we need to sell it to the constituency in those states.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
