Trump talking about the filibuster is a mistake. Primarying opponents of his program would be a better move.
History shows 90% of incumbents will be reelected to Congress. There is almost no way we can primary enough of them to make a difference. Enough will lie to get elected and then screw us over once safely inside the beltway.
We have now actual videos, tapes, and utterances as soon as they are made, regarding what a politician does, who to, and how often.
Time will show that past history is no longer the "go to" phrase.
Incumbents are starting to lose, retire, be primary-ed, and otherwise feeling the heat on their backsides.
it is up to the people to keep up the pressure.
