“I doubt Reid would ever pull the trigger on the nuclear option.”

Reid would absolutely use the nuclear option. Then when the day comes that the Republicans control the Senate, they will relinquish the nuclear option and reinstate the filibuster, as an “olive branch of aisle crossing bi-partisanship”
