        Not to mention that even with the nuclear option, Friday's vote totals would not have passed the bill. 45 Rs voted yea.

        Republicans needed 60 votes to confirm Neil Gorsuch. They changed the rules to confirm him without 60 votes. Republicans change the rules as it suits them. They blame Democrats for shutdown despite Republicans @LindseyGrahamSC @JeffFlake @RandPaul @SenMikeLee voting no on the CR.

        And another #republican attempt to destroy #Socialsecurity #Medicare when removing 800.000 people from the only country they know, will also remove 480 Billion from #babayboomers entitlements. Will collapse much quicker. #DACA
