You need 60 Senate votes to pass stuff.

2018 is just around the corner - Reeling Democrats confront brutal 2018 Senate map A filibuster-proof majority isn't out of the question if things break right for the GOP.

politico.com

So while Trump has a "mandate" now and the first 100 days power, he also has what looks a filibuster proof senate from 2018-2020.

The democrats are digging in and using the same race based identity politics that lost them the white house in 2016 - keep it up bozo's.

I believe Harry Reid changed that.

At least he changed it when the Democrats were in control.

Which makes it very likely that the Republicans will do the same.

I believe it was called the "nuclear option" when Harry did it.

Harry set that precedent and now EVERY future party will have to suffer its terms.
