•Getting 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. But that would require 10 GOP votes, which isn’t happening •Democrats using nuclear option to change filibuster rules to allow debt ceiling hike to advance with 51 votes. Manchin rejects this, so Dems don’t have the votes to do it — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin told me: “Forget the filibuster … We can prevent default, we really can prevent it. And there’s a way to do that, and there’s a couple other tools we have … Takes a little bit of time, it’s gonna be a little bit of pain, long vote-a-ramas,” referring to reconcilation — PolitiTweet.org

.@LeaderMcConnell threatening default on the national debt by refusing to allow a vote only adds fuel to the movement to end the filibuster.
