🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune just ADMITTED that the Democrats may nuke the filibuster when they re-take power!
But he doesn't have the votes to do it with a 53-seat Republican majority. We SHOULD NUKE IT!
We are basically just going to be SITTING DUCKS waiting for Democrats to do it
THUNE: "I don't disagree that there is a possibility. If the Democrats ever get the House, the Senate, and the White House, get unified control of the government, they might try to do that."
"We don't know the answer to that. It's hypothetical. But what I will tell you is there are not the votes to nuke the filibuster in the United States Senate today."
"It has protected Republicans through the years, conservative principles and priorities, by requiring a supermajority to get things done in the United States Senate. That's the way the founders designed it."
