For Donald Trump to go for a 24-plus hours without a word being said is an outrage in and of itself. This is a man who is seeking the nomination of a major political party, very likely to get it. And now look at the leadership he is…
He is a leader there's no question about that. But I think he's a bad leader. I think he's leaving his people into, he's leading the country, especially into a very bad place.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
Maintaining the status quo with regard to the filibuster is unacceptable for him.
