Will the rethugs remove the filibuster to push their budget extension without a deal, and the likelyhood [View all]

that they won't extend the ACA subsidies or undo the Medicaid cuts?

The filibuster is practically gone anyway.

The only thing that would keep them from doing it is the thought that when the Democrats retake the Senate, they would pay the rethugs back, and benefit the American public with a simple majority and pass a very progressive agenda.

They are so filled with power lust I wouldn't be surprised the rethugs did it.

and if they did, it sure would provide a major midterm election issue on healthcare.
