The rules, this one in particular, are the problem, and exactly why the institution neither functions nor is able to function.

You can't repair the Senate without changing the rules to allow it to function.

The country does not give the south end of a northbound rat whether Senators work together. The country (including the people she wants voting again for her) wants legislation three quarters of the populace supports to be passed and signed into law. No one much cares how it's done, not outside the beltway press.
