No, he was only delayed while we had two wars going on in this country. Mr. McCONNELL. Has a member of the President's Cabinet ever been defeated on a filibuster in the history of the Senate?

More from Harry Reid
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
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.
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.
