More from Harry Reid
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
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.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
