More from Harry Reid
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 filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn ’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.
He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
