with bated breath for the moment Mitch McConnell employs the Herman Goering exit strategy.

Poison is an effective word and probably the only reason he is using it. It doesn't describe what changes in the filibuster would actually do to relations.

This is how he will blame Democrats for our do-nothing Congress. He should be ashamed of himself for being such a huge sell-out.

They already are total obstructionist and won't pass any bills, so he's threatening SSDD? Stupid elephants, they lost the election in part because they obstructed the nations' business, so they want to continue pissing off 53% of the populace?

Smart move.

ability to turtle, is a bad thing. This man is a bigot, a coward and a congenital liar. Without a filibuster the republicans have no strategy. You must really hate minorities and poor people to vote for such repugnant characters.

His big plan backfired. He should be thinking of how to exit quietly instead of keeping up the obstructionist behavior that he commanded everyone to follow. FB changes will 'poison' the party? They are already in need of an antibiotic and maybe an amputation.

Going back to the filibuster intent of the Constitution is one way to extract the inflammation.
