...as Majority Leader. They probably did that the first day of the 113th Congress, no? And if so, they had no idea that Harry was going to go back on his word to change the filibuster rules. Remember, that little filibuster discussion and agreement wasn't worked out until after the Inauguration, with Mitch McConnell. Or that's how Harry made it appear. I, personally, think the filibuster business was worked out before or maybe ON Inauguration Day. Did you watch tie Inauguration? As Harry walked out to the balcony with Nancy and others, he looked physically ill. It worried me, as my mind shot back to PO's first Inauguration luncheon, when Ted Kennedy had to be taken out on a stretcher. Now, here was Harry acting like he could barely keep up, looking down the whole way out. I really was worried about him. So, OK... then comes the luncheon. Schumer toasted Joe Biden first, and then comes Harry Reid's turn to toast PO. I guess it took him a while to get up and walk to the front to give the toast, but he finally got up there. He sat his champagne goblet down behind him and read the toast, not smiling or looking up. It was not rememberable, And then he just walked off. He did not click glasses with the President! He left his glass behind where he had set it down. Huh? I found it very rude of Harry. I can imagine what Schumer said to him later. Anyway, his behavior that day was an omen in my eyes. What was up with Harry? Then we found out that he had caved on his promises to change the filibuster. Coincidence?
