Republicans are not stupid enough to destroy the filibuster forever over a stupid wallSee post 14.Nuclear option won't be necessary. Dems will ultimately cave.
Or they can use the reconciliation process, which has been used by both parties to circumvent the 60 vote requirement.
If their constituents want them to vote against the wall, then they will vote against the wall. That's the whole point of a representative democracy.Every Republican voting against funding for the wall should be thrown out of the party. Immediately. Then recalled by their constituents. Then shot by their neighbors.
Reconciliation IS the nuclear option in this case.Republicans are not stupid enough to destroy the filibuster forever over a stupid wallSee post 14.Nuclear option won't be necessary. Dems will ultimately cave.

From what I have read he doesn't have the R votes for the Nuclear option, not to just pass the budget with 51 votes, as reconciliation would allow.
Unless of course Dems now are calling reconciliation "the nuclear option" as it is being used against them instead of by them.
Of course they will not go to a Nuke option. Why would they
do that. The Dems don't sign the bill that the House passed
by midnite tonight, the Dems will own the shutdown.
The Prez cannot be blamed for vetoing a bill that he never received.
Best post of the day! Dems already showed they are willing to change the rules when they're in power if it gets them their way.McConnell is wrong. He thinks that if we don't use the nuclear option the democrat socialists won't either. Of course they will. As soon as they get the chance.
Mitch, do the right thing. Don't think about the enemy.

McConnell does not have 50 votes. He needs 50, with Pence as the tie-breaker.

No, the nuclear option has always been removing the filibuster for a given vote, such as when Dems removed it for Judicial nominees except the SC, and then Republicans removed it for SC nominations.
Another option is making Mexico pay for it.Nuclear option won't be necessary. Dems will ultimately cave.

STEEL SLAT FENCE, NO WALL... EVER !
Even to go reconciliation, McConnell can only lose one of Flake, Corker, and Snowe ... all of whom have pretty much lost their senate careers because of him. I doubt McConnell has the votes.If their constituents want them to vote against the wall, then they will vote against the wall. That's the whole point of a representative democracy.Every Republican voting against funding for the wall should be thrown out of the party. Immediately. Then recalled by their constituents. Then shot by their neighbors.

and it's not all politics. The wall is not going to be built because of how much eminent domain taking there would have to be for the wall itself, not to mention the guard towers, the roads to and from the wall, the gas stations, the crappers, etc.
Bout fn time McConnell stopped kissing trump assDonald just Trump tried to use the nuclear option in the senate in order to get his wall, despite the fact that Mexico is going to pay for it according to himself.
Mitch McConnell said that the nuclear option is not going to happen, via his spokesman:
Ben Siegel on Twitter
