I think she sees the writing on the wall. A lot of Dems have been talking about eliminating the filibuster thinking they will win control of the Senate. I hope the Republicans eliminate the current system and go back to a real filibuster.

A lot of senators — especially Republicans — love the filibuster because it gives them an excuse for failing to pass bills that their voters want but their donors oppose. They can keep winning 51-59 seats without ever passing anything of substance. If the GOP ever got 60 seats in the Senate, I’ll bet they’d change the Senate rules to require 65 votes to kill a filibuster.
