More from Harry Reid
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.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
The filibuster is nondemocratic. It has been used to the disarray of the Congress. And, certainly, it hasn’t been anything that has helped -- been helpful to the American people. It’s got to go.
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.
