      @waltshaub @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema The fact is, D’s never had enough votes to salvage the Constitution by consensus. That would have required bold and immediate action that was not in the character of the party’s players. Having an idiosyncratic WV Republican and some self-absorbed ditz from Arizona won’t cut it.

    @waltshaub @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema Dems had to win 60 votes last year, or Biden would have had to stretch his power under the Constitution in ways that, given the current stress it’s under, may have broken it entirely. Who knows what happens now, but it’s unlikely to be good.
