If we used the logic of the minority, we would have passed several Democratic amendments by this point because they received 50 plus votes. I ask my friend, is the minority's argument sound, when we have had a tradition of more than 200 years that you need more than 50 votes; in fact, you need 60 to get things going--is that a fair statement?

The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
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.
if we have the political will, we have the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of families today and build a stronger, better and more prosperous country for generations to come.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
