16. It is time for Americans to simply quit pretending he is not standing in his kitchen

wearing a bathrobe, holding a cup of ineffective coffee.

17. Truthfully speaking, we would probably need 65 to 70 to even declare a "filibuster proof" majority.

Because there are some in the Democratic caucus in the Senate right now, such as Joe Lieberman or Ben Nelson, who are likely to switch sides against a progressive reform bill.
