What did the filibuster have to do with the failure of the Dems' abortion bill in the Senate today????
51 Senators -- a majority -- voted NO on the bill.
It's like living in some surreal twisted world where Dems and media allies keep pretending the filibuster stopped the bill.
@RobForbesDJ@voxdotcom 3/ Manchin also only has the power that he does (as does every other Senator, for that matter) because the Senate is currently split 50/50 R/D. Republicans have their own bêtes noires on their side in Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
@RobForbesDJ@voxdotcom 2/ The only reason Manchin wins in W. Virginia in general elections is that he votes the way he does in the Senate. Otherwise he's gone.
@DrHousePls @slimceeVA@voxdotcom It's also about 70/30 against late-term abortion so clearly people don't know what they're even saying in these polls.
