Harry Reid: “This bill is not a bipartisan bill. The bill that came out of the Intelligence Committee is bipartisan, but understand…”

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.

Get rid of the filibuster. It’s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis’ funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It’s very bad.

But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
