The Senate GOP will not nuke the filibuster! They just won’t. But this should lead to talks that get to that “off-ramp” by next Friday.

Trump, showing the kind of leadership that presidents are known for, has jetted off to Mar-a-lago for fundraising and golf.

Says some of the Senate Republicans. There won't be enough votes.

Including Thune. The filibuster is not getting nuked.

whatever the comrpomise is, it is unlikely to get to the needed 60 votes

and whaetver it is, the House is not likely to go along.

Meanwhile, the House has next week off and hasn't lifted a finger to put the actual budget together, you know, the one that was supposed to be ready to sign at the end of September?

I knew the Senate wouldn’t do it. So then Trump needs to be presidential and convene congressional leaders (from both sides) to discuss a deal/path forward.

As if he does anything else.

NGL, I think they are worried that he's lost his marbles and will give away the farm so he can proclaim he got a "deal". He can't handle interactions that last for more than 30 minutes.

Only takes 51 votes to nuke the filibuster

The Senate Majority Leader needs to allow a vote on the rule change. If the Majority Leader refuses to bring the issue to the flood, it will never happen.

Frankly, I think Thune would resign his spot as Majority Leader before allowing a vote on a full range that nukes the filibuster (even if only for CRs/budgets).

Well there goes the chances of this ending next week

No I was talking about the “off ramp”. Who said there is an off ramp? They won’t get rid of the filibuster, ever.
