6 votes is usually easy to get. Unless you're asking those 6 people to double the price of healthcare and block the release of the Epstein files. Then it's a no-go. It's easy to understand, once it's explained.

>> The Don't have the 60 votes to open the government Mike Johnson can't get 60 votes to knock millions off of insurance? I'm stunned. Starving children will definitely convince the democrats to abandon their principals. Its brilliant. Where does the right come up with these winning schemes?

Dimmocrats are holding off and extending the Schumer Shutdown for one reason now. They want Republicans to do their dirty work and get rid of the 60 vote threshold on the filibuster.

It would be great for their fakenews shock stories.
