Laura Ingraham Tells Senate Republican, ‘Y’all Gonna Get Wiped Out’ in the Midterms if GOP Keeps Filibuster

Fox News host Laura Ingraham urged Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and other Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, lest the GOP “get wiped out” in the next year’s midterm elections.

The federal government has been shut down since Oct. 1, after the Senate could not agree on a bill to keep the government funded beyond September. While the GOP controls the chamber 53-47, 60 votes are necessary to invoke cloture to break filibusters and advance legislation. In exchange for the requisite votes, Democrats are demanding that Republicans agree to extend healthcare premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Republicans have refused.

President Donald Trump has demanded that Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster, which many senators regard as important to protect the Senate’s minority party.

On Friday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, the host asked Marshall about the prospects for its elimination.

“Senator, Republicans – especially the more establishment Republicans – are very, very wedded to this idea of holding onto the filibuster with a death grip,” Ingraham said before alleging that if Democrats regain power, they will eliminate the rule. “Do you believe, given what this country and our people are facing, that it is time for the Republican Party to ditch the filibuster and start doing things for the American people?”

She’s not wrong.

[It Aint Easy]

That’s what they want, should it not surprise any of us?

JD Vance pointed out that the only thing that kept the Democrats from eliminating the filibuster when they had controlled Congress was Sinema and Manchin. Both are gone. The filibuster is gone the instant the Democrats take Congress again - if Republicans refuse to eliminate now, while they hold Congress, they deserve to lose forever.

Time to gaslight her and call her a doomer. /s

[MinorityRepublican]

This is the moment that the GOP may turn into the Tories in the UK.

Trump can switch to America Party.

If RINOs are resisting then he may have to do that.

Even if the gop gets rid of it, you can bet when the democommies get in control again, we’re gonna get bent over with no lube.

[Drew68]

The problem with nuking the filibuster is that feckless Republicans won't do a damn thing with all of that awesome power once they have it.

The Democrats will, though.

[TBP]

Maybe, maybe not.

[Drew68]

if Republicans refuse to eliminate now, while they hold Congress, they deserve to lose forever.

100% true.

Still, see my post above.

Last time the Dems had control of the Senate their motion to end the filabuster wqs defeated by 2 Dem senators 0 now gone. Next tine they will end it if the Spineless GOP does not do it now.

The Dems are already planing what they will do after they end it: pack SCOTUS, add DC and PR as states for starters - that will give them permanent control of the Senate and likely the House as well.

[MinorityRepublican]

you can bet when the democommies get in control again

It's only a matter of time before they get power again.

So what are we waiting for?

[dkGba]

Unfortunately the rest of us will lose our country then probably for good 😢

[God luvs America]

LOL- reading all the posts from the spineless and feckless FReepers here is so typical...and you wonder why mamdani won....

[rktman]

Fear? But, gop could lock in some things IF they really wanted to. Laura is probably right.

[Labyrinthos]

Here’s how to play hardball: Senate rule changes only require a majority vote. Eliminate the filibuster rule now and spend the next 3+ years passing MAGA legislation, including spending reforms, voter integrity, etc. When the RATs win back the senate, reinstate the filibuster before they are sworn in and change the Senate rules to require a 60 vote majority to eliminate the filibuster rule.

[TexasFreeper2009]

yep, eliminate it and then immediately pass an election integrity law by simply majority mandating all states verify citizenship for all elections and all social services. And making it clear illegal aliens are not guaranteed emergency room service regardless of ability to pay.

[TalBlack]

So the democrats are gold and in control now ? Boy that happened fast.

Sickles RINOs strike again.

[Capn Hayek]

I very much acknowledge that the next rat senate likely nukes it anyway...

So maybe it’s the least bad option, IDK.

However, I will never stop SMH over nuking the filibuster to pass a *CONTINUING BUDGET RESOLUTION!*

Less than a year to go until what looks like it could be a very challenging midterm?

Maybe if we had some guaranteed 50 vote agreements + House consensus on important legislation, but I’m not seeing anything like that.

I just cannot see the wisdom behind using the nuclear option for a kick-the-can CR.

Losing is a Republican strategy for GOP inc.
