So glad we finally got that Republican majority.
exactly.
Doesn't anyone remember 3rd grade arithmetic? How do you "grow" 54 Republican Seats into 60 without an election? The R's won the house, but they did not get the number (60 & 66(veto override))necessary for control. Is that really to hard to understand?
Even if they choose to change the rules of the Senate, to simple majority, which they could do and has been done on rare occasion, they would never have the number of votes to override a POSPOSTUS veto.
I have little use for McConnell, but he is a shrewd and knowledgeable politician from his years in the Senate and should be able to strategize as good as anyone, how and when to do what is needed to move important legislation forward. Most will disagree with that, and it's really moot since there are simply not enough "R"s to move legislation forward without some bipartisan support.
