More from Harry Reid
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.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things done.
