IF they win the Senate, they should leave the current rules in place for as many days in session as the Dems had in session after the rule change. Then they can change it back.

Live up to you word, Sen. McConnell. Return the filibuster rules.... on the last day of Obama’s administration.

In other words “We won! Now we’ll bend over and let Harry and the Henchmen spank our butts.”

Never again will I vote for a republican. It’s third party or save my gas.

If the so-called republicans win back control of the Senate this November, it’s the democrats that will restore the filibuster in December, during the lame duck session.

Then the dems will dare the GOP to end the filibuster in January, which the GOP will not. They’re not called the Stupid Party for nothing.

One more thing to add to your list - publicly declare that the GOP will be providing just enough votes to restore the filibuster IF every Democrat votes for it.

Establishment Republicans are very interested in keeping the "gains" that the Democrats made.

Utterly no surprise.

Well HELLO. The Republic IS dead. Has been for a long time. It’s just that the corpse is stinking now. You think the comments above are harsh? Pfft. I’m all for rounding up the collectivists and doing to them what they plan for us. You know: re-education camps or executions.

Re-education should not be on the list. Summary executions for every last leftist. EVERY LAST ONE.

Dumb twits! But then again probably a third of them repubs are really democrats including McConnell their fearless leader, so it is not surprising that they would revert back once they lose power. Hairy Reed knew this that is why he installed new rules while they are in the majority, otherwise he would never have done it.

These fake repubs are going to continue to push the democrat liberal agenda.

Geez. THEY learn nothing. What’s good for the goose really SHOULD be good enough for the gander. Let the left whine about policies THEY have implemented.
