While Manchin gets more of the press, I still say that Sinema is far worse. Manchin is in a state where Trump won by 39 points. Sinema is in a state where Biden won. What's her excuse?

@PatrickPierceBateman Why would Evil Turtle get rid of the filibuster? The only things that he actually wants to do already can't be filibustered.

@DavidHeffron78 And how is that going to convince 50 Senators to vote a certain way? The President does not have absolute power.

@cannapurp2833 Nobody ever said that the Russia investigation was about proving that Trump would have otherwise lost. It was about whether or not his campaign sought and took illegal campaign assistance from Russia. It did, and Trump committed at least ten acts of obstruction of justice to hide it. As far as criminal investigations go, Mueller was not going to go past the realm of his charge, and he knew that the Justice Department wouldn't indict a sitting President, so saying that it didn't prove that Russian interference was the deciding factor and Trump didn't get indicted is saying that gravity is ridiculous because it doesn't prove that the solar system is in the Wilky Way.

@esqueejy Evil Turtle had his chance to get rid of the filibuster. Der Orangefuhrer demanded it many times. He didn't kill it completely not because he is an institutionalist who loves the Senate, but because he can already do everything he wants to do with the filibuster rules as they are now, and he cares far more about stopping Democrats than he does building a positive legislative agenda of his own.

@sullen2420 Parliamentary parties are far different than parties in a Presidential system.

@DavidHeffron78 He has none in terms of getting rid of a Senate rule.
