Sweet. It was the only thing the living wage and medicare for all when Obama ran things. The next dem president can ram those through, or maybe even after the mid-terms.

What am I saying, Dems don't stand for the working class anymore. Sigh.

... Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, reversed himself on the Senate filibuster Wednesday after years of unflinching support ...

So, if the voters decide to elect him, which of the two persona will they get to represent them?

The one that will owe Trump for his job.

He will go back to tongue bathing Trump.

The man is going to lose anyway. He could have retired with some dignity. Now he's just pathetic.

Yup.

But will that persona benefit Pres Trump, or America?

Texas is a weird state, so many poor and low income Texans vote Republican Party just because they...??? Is it all about Civil War holdover hatred of people with Black and Brown skin?
One hopes that Talarico finds a way to win.

Belief in white Jesus keeps most dumb with a large helping of racism.

Without the Filibuster, the US Senate's most notable features compared to the US House will be longer time between re-election, nicer offices and plenty of hijinks if there is an election this November, and the Dems re-take the Senate...
