on this hill?

It would seem he would have more power in the senate if it was removed and he could negotiate for anything he wanted with his deciding vote for all legislation, yes?

That's why we have 2 senators per state. We also have one president and elections have consequences. And because you seem daft republicans are not our friends, not even close when 75% of the COUNTRY what legislation we allow 25% to decide. He needs to rethink what his job is and who he represents.
