It is plainly obvious that Ds would not go nuclear if Rs give them even the slightest bit of cover not to.
@ThePlumLineGS Does that mean, theoretically, Ds would live w/ filibusters of, for example, EPA nominee, if Cordray/NLRB get through?

@DavidMDrucker perhaps. clearly if McConnell gave on a few points it would be enough. Ds don't want to change rules. that's obvious. -
@ThePlumLineGS Interesting insight. I can buy it, altho I think some of the newer Senate Ds want rules change regardless. -
@DavidMDrucker definitely true. but Reid/old bulls don't. in fact, this is what annoys liberals. -
@ThePlumLineGS Per@ByronYork, changing w/ 51 votes cld be real fear of institutionalists. Cld be more dangerous precedent than filibuster -
@DavidMDrucker@ByronYork yes, true. that's why Ds don't want to change rules via nuke option
