They just need to hold the vote when any two Democrats are not there.

This trick probably won't work again, but they might be able to hold Democrats hostage by leaving the vote on the calendar and keeping the Senate open. Republicans could head home in shifts, but no more than a single Democrat could be too far from the floor.
