You'd need 50 votes in the republican caucus. They don't have 50 votes.

Feldegast42 posted:Won't the GOP nuke the filibuster if they try it on the AHCA? no the filibuster is a really useful tool for up-and-coming senators to make names for themselves. it's a very easy to use "GIVE ME ATTENTION" move so everybody benefits from it they also know that as soon as they nuke it they will get hosed bigly when they are the minority party

i find it kind of odd that people are yelling that mcconnell is going to get rid of the legislative filibuster when the whole AHCA debacle shows just how fractured and hard it is for the republicans to even get their entire caucus on board with any bill.
