It’s 2/3rds of present members. It’s still likely impossible. But, if the Democrats actually want to play hard ball (they don’t) they could get shit passed without Republican members present. The Democrats biggest failure has been that they don’t actually play the games the Republicans do. They follow the process and respect the rules when they have power and get nothing passed. When they don’t have power they complain that they can’t do anything. Trump is going to be gone in 2 years. Republican politicians want a future in politics. There are significantly more ways to get shit passed and vetos overridden that aren’t just “the rules”. It’s actually engaging in political maneuvers and leverage that you won’t hear about on TV and aren’t a part of the actual “process” or law. I don’t have faith in the democratic party. But, I also won’t make excuses for them if they twiddle their thumbs for two years.
