McConnell should be playing Harry Reid’s tune and “going nuclear” (ending filibusters with just a simple majority).
Why? The historical purposes of the 60 votes needed have been trashed by the total obstructionism on nearly every contentious measure at every turn, by Dims and GOPers. Why? The national divisions have been increased and heightened to levels where “bipartisan” has an effective meaning only when the majority can get what they want without the minority & a few minority sign on to a measure anyway.
The nation is divided as not seen since the civil war, Mr McConnell. Quit letting rules that can be changed stand in the way of you and your majority getting things done. You will regret it, as surely that is what any future Dim Senate majority is going to do - they admit how divided the nation is and no there is no other way to get what they want to do, when they have a majority; just as Harry Reid did when he last had control of the Senate.
or at least make the ones calling for a filibuster get up there and talk 24/7..
the 60 vote grid lock is insane.
