That's dirty but technically legal; perversely it would probably result in a better bill since they'd only need 50 votes plus the VP's vote instead of the full 60 votes. Suppose the Republicans did this? Would there be much gnashing of teeth about the dictator Bush? Then I don't see why Democrats would go down with the sinking ship. If it were a good bill then it would pass easily. That it hasn't passed despite a democrat supermajority, is evidence that the bill is a giant turd.

When you have to bribe democrats for their support that says everything you need to know about the bill.
