I asked the question below and was told if they vote for cloture, then the filibuster is out the door, and all they need JohnSJ Mar 13 #78

if it goes to the floor it passes with a simple majority awesomerwb1 Mar 13 #79

A massive betrayal after what he said yesterday. BannonsLiver Mar 13 #35

IMO the real betrayal and reason why he should be forced out is the bullshit head fake from yesterday. 617Blue Mar 13 #40

I agree on that point as well. BannonsLiver Mar 13 #48

Yes ibegurpard Mar 13 #61

Thank-you JohnSJ Mar 13 #64

Correct................. Lovie777 Mar 13 #68

No they won't ibegurpard Mar 13 #72

Cloture is basically the Senate term for managing/ending debate on a bill. LonePirate Mar 13 #66

Thank-you. So that means the filibuster is essentially out the door. Damn JohnSJ Mar 13 #69

Yes. The filibuster is the infinite debate which the 60 vote cloture measure brings to a halt. LonePirate Mar 13 #83

I guess my question then is the cloture on a temporary extension, or on the draconian CR bill? JohnSJ Mar 13 #87

It doesn't matter ibegurpard Mar 13 #89

I got it Thanks. It's over. JohnSJ Mar 13 #91

60 votes are needed for cloture so it's a way to block the vote from being brought to the floor. But once Nanjeanne Mar 13 #70

Then that means its over. GEEZ!!! JohnSJ Mar 13 #73

Yes. The bill is so bad Ds won't vote for it but I guess not bad enough to stop it from passing even when they have the Nanjeanne Mar 13 #113

If they refused to vote for cloture, would the rethugs compromise? JohnSJ Mar 13 #116

Probably not. Maybe. But probably not. But if a shut down happened, there's a way to message the decision Nanjeanne Mar 13 #117

I know and I hear you. Personally I think it is a no win situation either way, and the people who need those services JohnSJ Mar 14 #121

I'm sure Rachel and Lawrence will express their outrage HereForTheParty Mar 13 #59
