Harry Reid: “It is stunning to think that 3,000 children drop out of high school every day. Is that difficult to comprehend?”

He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.

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

I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
