    This time, more Republicans are leaving openings to entertain the possibility of ending the filibuster.

    What say you? Still want the 60-vote cloture rule to stay?

      Yes, I want the 60 vote cloture to stay. It will be anarchy without it.

        Yeah it’s a bit of small-c conservatism that has served us well overall.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

            those are words I'd rather not hear from Trump. He wants to begin testing them now. No lie.

              I'd rather they eliminated the use of ALL CAPS and inappropriate "quotation" marks in official communications, but maybe that's just me.

              I was only joking

                Random, but how nice will it be one day to return to this type of normalcy. 6 days after 9/11, Bush speaking at an Islamic center.

                    I think we're past this. Culturally we don't have much respect for authority anymore, so why would we have respectable authorities?
