By restoring the talk.

Right.

I know.

That's what it is.

Correct.

Senate Republicans should absolutely see this as a giant win, which it is, undeniably.

Look, the American people understand that we need to be fighting, and they'd be happy about this, regardless of the outcome, but especially if we won, which I believe we would.

Now,

As far as why some might be reluctant, the best argument I can make is I don't think this is a close call.

I think this is a no brainer, not just to try to pass it, but to try to pass it through this mechanism by restoring the talking filibuster.

The best argument I can make as to why somebody might be reluctant is that because this has not been done in decades like this, it's been decades since we've done it like that.

People are afraid of what they don't know, what they don't understand.

They're afraid of what is unfamiliar.

And they're also not certain as to how long it might take, exactly how it might turn out.

There is no absolute, you know, certain victory here, as there never is in any legislative endeavor or in a human endeavor for that matter.

I believe we would win.

absolute defeat not the not a doubt in anyone's mind there is absolute defeat now as to why democrats don't support this democrats in the senate as opposed to democrats among the american people who overwhelmingly support this i'm always a little reluctant to step into the shoes and peer into the mind of another individual i don't have that ability uh that uh

is typically something that we associate with deity and something that we mortals can't do but one has to wonder and i i think it is very reasonable to ask whether the status quo just works for them works for them in a way that really ought to trouble all of us deeply what if they don't want to discover

What's in that box that we want to open?

What if they don't want anyone knowing the extent to which this might now be or might in the future prove to be a source of votes that they might be able to tap into?
