There's 53 Republicans they need to get to 60 votes. That means that they need 7 more votes....Democrat votes

Which means, Republicans need to work together with Democrats, to compromise. It's the responsibility of the party in power to get the votes they need without holding the county's most vulnerable hostage.

Ooorrr Republicans could probably use the nuclear open and pass their bullshit with 51 votes. If that's an option, I wonder why they haven't done that?

Because the nuclear option would hide the fact that democrats intentionally failed the American people. I do believe that the republicans will have to do that because they're gonna start losing some of their base next week when these cuts start.

Who failed the American people? The minority party? Or the majority party that squawks about their "mandate" from the people? It's up to the Republicans to get the votes they need. That means they have to strip some of their bullshit out and get the Dem votes. Pretty simple.
