38. I don't think they raised any expectations of a filibuster
It has always been clear to me that there wouldn't be one.
It was activists (especially online activists) who believe there should be a filibuster who have raised expectations of one, hoping to force one. That's not a bad thing -- activists should lobby and try to force what they want. But the party and it's leadership have never raised expectations (only tried to keep from categorically ruling anything out).
That's why so many people here have been so pissed for the past week or so -- because Dem Senators and the party kept trying to lower expectations.
