With no filibuster, maybe you get a party-line vote that takes it up to $11 or $12. Or maybe you do a deal with Cotton & Romney that does something on immigration. Or maybe you find a tax cut fanatic who’ll vote for $15 if Democrats extend some TCJA provision. Legislating! — PolitiTweet.org

IMO Democrats need to scrap the filibuster to create a broad playing field in which it only takes 2-3 extra votes to get a minimum wage hike done, which creates the possibility of a lot of different compromises. — PolitiTweet.org

The Dems need to scrap the filibuster so they can pass the minimum wage with 48 votes.

The problem with the 60-vote threshold is that it’s so high there’s basically no point in dealmaking. For anything to get done it has to be a leadership-driven mega-compromise, there’s no room for initiative or bargaining. — PolitiTweet.org
