Just wondering what the Board thinks. I think Schumer would drop it in a heartbeat. Upvote.

McConnell sucks! He's dirty with China money, and a foe of Trump Nation.

The one thing you can count on is that senate democrats will vote in total unison on nearly every issue presented to them. If they take control and Schumer brings it to a vote there will be no dissent within the ranks.

Trump has openly pushed McConnell on this, and it's time to make it issue # one. McConnell is not going to act because then HE would be responsible for passing Trump Agenda Legislation. No excuses...no rationale for *compromising* for Dem votes.

Never has there been a more obvious scenario for the inevitable (abandonment of Simple Majority Rule in Senate) to occur. Immigration Reform with a functional Border is critical...and given all the scurrilous waste in this Omnibus...not having money for a Wall becomes a joke.

McConnell will have to be drug kicking and screaming all the way.

No actually it’s time for a vote to permanently return to regular order.

These games are absolutely destroying us all.

Let’s see....
What party believes in following rules and regulations?
What party honors traditions?
What party dropped the rule for federal judges first?

Democrats are the poster children for the ends justifying the means.

DNC will do or say anything to obtain their goals.

GOP should just dump it now, like the Reid Ruled Gorsuch on SCOTUS.
Pass a GOP agenda. If DNC takes control, Trump can veto their shite until 2020 election.
Unfortunately cucks gotta cuck.

Of course. A better question may be.."Does anyone doubt they will drop the filibuster if they gain control?"

They'll drop it and then point and laugh at the republicans and say.."You idiots had it and you threw it away...again! All we had to do was act all outraged and have Chuck slide his glasses a little farther down his nose and put on his "angry face" and you caved...again!! LOL! By Any means Necessary, is what BAMN stands for..DUH! LOL! The high level turncoats in Ryan and McConnell helped tho!"

McConnell is all about control, the Senate is his fiefdom, and there are more than enough Bush Republicans to help him put down any insurrections. That Filibuster Rule will go when they roll McConnell out to the funeral home.
