Harry Reid: “That would certainly be long before cloture and the debate would be finished tonight, and we could slow up Senators…”

I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.

But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
