More from Harry Reid
The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things done.
McConnell is facing reality, and it bothers him a lot. The filibuster is on its way out. It’s not a question if. It’s a question of when it goes away.
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.
