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.
You cannot have a democracy that record 60 percent of the vote on everything. And that’s what the Republicans have done. They have made a mockery of what the Senate should be.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
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.
