Call, tell your friends and family, use social media and hammer the GOP every DAY! If you get a voice mail leave a message. The staffers DO tally them up and keep track. It literally takes 2 minutes to call one GOP rep (call both houses too). RESIST !

(82,849 posts)Does the Senate still need to get to 50 + Pence to pass legislation if all 100 Senators aren't there to vote? If only 98 Senators vote, does it take 49 + Pence? Just being nosy.

(60,010 posts)rules are for majority votes, and obviously the more republicans that aren't there, the better it is for Dems.
Yertle is very good at counting votes, and has the power to post-pone the vote.

(82,849 posts)It's already December 14, and these yahoos like nothing better than their time off. If the legislation gets stalled for just a few days, everyone's going to want to skedaddle out of town for another well-deserved vacation.

(3,268 posts)the DNC should secretly hire an unknown actor to play a sanctimonious over-pious minister and get him some air time to proclaim how God had struck down just enough Republicans to frustrate a plot by Satan to destroy the middle class. Then hide the guy until the next time they failed. Call it revenge but it would be funny as hell and drive Trump and his buddies crazy...
