It takes 60 votes to pass anything meaningful.
If there are only 60 Democrats then all the billionaires have to do is buy one of them.
In the case of Obamacare they went ahead and bought 5 or 6 just so they would have a cushion.

I chuckle every time I hear the crazy & absurd idea that Dems are some sot of monolithic voting bloc. It boggles the mind. We Dems are notorius for being a fractious and noisy bunch who would come to blows were it not for a little wine and some smoke. Then out come the drums, guitars and the occasional banjo and it's all Kumbaya and labor protest songs.
Well, that's the way it is at my family reunions.
