Political Pundits

I don’t know how to believe that they’re on the side of preserving democracy.

I think Sinema and Manchin are wrong. They`re wrong about the filibuster, they`re wrong about its effects, they`re wrong about its history. They`re just wrong.

In Georgia, their brand-new Jim Crow voting law is already working as designed.

Jim Crow laws... attempted to systematically exclude black people from social and civic life.

If we still had water fountains, the unvaccinated would have separate ones.

Democrats will now hold 220 seats in the House; Republicans 211 seats. This is the important number, margin now is 62 to 33 in this race. That’s a 29-point lead.

This is the same story basically in a different venue. Pay attention, because this is how democracy dies.

If Democrats now can all come together and get rid of this ridiculous, absurd, archaic, anti-democratic filibuster, they might as well give up on politics.

One thing Republicans made abundantly clear with their filibuster to January 6 commission today is that they will stand united against anything, anything at all they think will hurt the political power of their party, even if that position…

What the Republicans want to talk about in the midterm election is Joe Biden and Joe Biden's policies and how they would argue he is failing the country.

I think some of the Republicans, you ask my outraged American hat, let me put on my Republican political operative hat and tell you that I think the air came out of this balloon to some degree because it took so long.

Mitch McConnell has made this his political position, thinking it will help his 2022 elections.

If a president had an official responsibility that was part of his job description to hold on to that office even after he`s voted out of it, and to do it even by trying to have his own vice president hung in front of the Capitol, by…

Two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have already said publicly, they are against removing the filibuster and they are holding line.

If Democrats eliminated the filibuster, they wouldn’t need any Republican votes to pass a bill to investigate an attack on our democracy.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has started the process of forming a vote on the -- forcing vote on the establishment of a commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

Now, Republican state legislators are looking to move power away from that office.

As Republicans across the country continue their steady and strategic assault on our democracy, Republicans on Capitol Hill are working diligently, as Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put it, on stopping this new administration.

The new voter restriction bill would limit the number of polling locations in the largest counties in the state.

Texas wants you to be able to get a gun as easily as possible, but Texas does not want you to vote easily if you live in Texas largest counties.

Honor these families, don't make them go through months and months and months of this. It's just unbelievable to me.

It doesn't make sense to be a year out. And we still don't have any real progress. It doesn't make sense.

There are 400 -- more than 400 of these bills that have been introduced since the election, 90 percent of them primarily, predominantly pushed by Republicans.

It is not too much of a stretch to say that these public officials were the guardrails that basically saved American democracy in its current form, at least for now.
