Subject: Re: Why can't reps pass the CR with only 51 votes
That is, that there are not certain things that MUST be passed by 60 votes and that can't be passed by 51 by overriding the filibuster rule?

As suggested before, the Dems could have not invoked a filibuster. Then, they could all vote against the CR, and it would still pass. Then wait for the base to see if they like the impact on their health insurance premiums. If they don't like it, make the Repubs wear in in 26. If the base doesn't care, because it only impacts 7% of the population, then the Dems could say "whew! glad we didn't pick that hill to die on". Now, Trump can burn down every part of the government that benefits Proles, and blame it on the Dems.
