Of course the Republicans will shit-can the filibuster when they get in power. Any idiot knows that and that includes Sen Democrats.

Here's how I see it. Democratic Senators get lots of money from the 1%. They get votes from the 99%. So how do they keep both happy? Even an idiot can figure that out (no offense to the conservatives among us). The Demo Senators vote for a bill that their constituents want but their sponsors dont, and not to worry, the Republicans save their asses because they have the filibuster. It's a win-win. Well if you dont count the constituents.

If the Demo Senators wanted reform, we would have it. They are tickled to death with the status quo.

Remember it's a win-win. Win for the sponsors and win for the Senators.
