The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.

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.

Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
