59

I mentioned last night the whole "Democrats will lose their 60th vote!!!" thing being nonsense, as if the steamrolling of a progressive agenda over America will now cease. I actually now wonder if, ironically, having only 59 will actually BENEFIT the Democrats. As in there seemed to be something reflexively offensive from the start about a "super-majority" that pushed Republicans into hyper-obstructionism; perhaps not getting to think of the Democrats as (completely ineffectual) "bullies" will allow them to soften their stance a little, and actually join a real conversation for once. Maybe. Maybe not.
