The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things 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.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
if we have the political will, we have the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of families today and build a stronger, better and more prosperous country for generations to come.
