He’s 100% right. It’s a bizarre, ancient, byzantine rule. And very little that’s really important will get done if they don’t get rid of it, because the Dems are not interested in doing what’s right…
He’s 100% right. It’s a bizarre, ancient, byzantine rule. And very little that’s really important will get done if they don’ t get rid of it, because the Dems are not interested in doing what’s right for America, they’ re just interested in resistance. At that point, you can only crush them, you can’ t work with them.
Excerpted From The Hill: Responding to Senate Republicans’ healthcare collapse this week, President Trump said Saturday that Republicans “look like fools” and the Democrats are “laughing” at them if they don’ t change the legislative process.
He urged Senate Republicans to abolish the legislative filibuster in a series of early-morning tweets, claiming “200 bills” sit in the Senate waiting for action.
Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW! It is killing the R Party, allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!

The very outdated filibuster rule must go. Budget reconciliation is killing R’s in Senate. Mitch M, go to 51 Votes NOW and WIN. IT’S TIME!

Republicans in the Senate will NEVER win if they don’t go to a 51 vote majority NOW. They look like fools and are just wasting time……

….8 Dems totally control the U. S. Senate. Many great Republican bills will never pass, like Kate’s Law and complete Healthcare. Get smart!

If the Senate Democrats ever got the chance, they would switch to a 51 majority vote in first minute. They are laughing at R’s. MAKE CHANGE!

Trump specifically called out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) , pushing the GOP leader to end the filibuster and move toward passing all legislation with a 51-vote majority.
Trump also called for an end to the legislative filibuster on Friday, saying “great future legislation” depended on Republicans killing the filibuster and moving to a 51-vote majority. Read the whole thing
