Best is to scrap the filibuster altogether. The filibuster has degenerated into a Democrat tool against opposition only useful when it permits a minority Democrat party to block a majority Republican party and to be scrapped when the Democrats have the majority and reinstated when the Republicans are again in the majority. The filibuster served for a long long time as a device to slow down hasty consideration of bills. Now it is only a hindrance to one part of the Senate. Best of all would be to repeal the 17th Amendment. The filibuster used to substitue, lamely but it helped, for the destruction of the previous Constitutional system wrought by the original process for selection of Senators.
Are Washington Republicans Incompetent?
Because they want to be that’s why. When it is their grasp to do something important for the country they will always do the opposite. Obama’s bitch Mitch could have just asked for a majority vote and sent the act to Obama and forced him to veto it openly. But no he strapped on his knee pads and compromised with the devil.
