Sixty votes or more, as you yourself acknowledge, is control. This basic fact has been illustrated on multiple occasions. You even seem to understand that yourself.
Claiming that you can pull two votes "easy" is mere posturing, given the obstructionist stance adopted by McConnell and other GOP leaders. Given that the gains of the GOP in the 2010 midterms largely came about because the moderate Republicans who did seek to work with the administration got primaried out of existence by the likes of Ted Cruz, who proudly states that compromise is a dirty word. Hell, Boehner got hounded out of office because he tried to compromise.
