Harry Reid: “I'm depending on stable, hard working, always available Patty Murray. She is the stereotype of what I believe a senator…”

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.

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.

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