This is really the only bipartisan game in town so if nothing is cooking here on process or big issues it makes the nuclear option all the more likely Sen. Tester described the group as “pretty damn important” to preserving the filibuster: “could be very good for the Senate.” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine King “very reluctant” to make that change given the prospect of GOP retribution: “It’s a double edged sword that I think the advocates for [change] are ignoring.” “We can reform the filibuster.

@marianne_levine Feinstein “undecided” + has concerns about what would happen when Republicans eventually take back control: “It is one of the reasons I am hesitant.” Hickenlooper said it’s “premature” to completely ax the filibuster.

@marianne_levine “I’m not a big fan of the talking filibuster. I just don’t know whether it will work.
