Eugene Robinson’s latest column in the Washington Post is shocking in its ignorance and naivete about national politics. But there’s at least one very honest and revealing part that should serve as a nice reality check for Republican and conservative voters in the 2020 election.
From Robinson’s op-ed:
President Trump has been pressuring McConnell since 2017 to eliminate the filibuster — the Senate rule that requires legislation to secure a 60-vote supermajority in order to pass. McConnell has resisted, even though it’s almost guaranteed that once Democrats are in power, they’ll do exactly that, or at least try.
Robinson couched his dear hopes with a question mark, but everyone should know what’s going on. The next time a Democrat is in the White House and the party takes back the Senate, they will be facing immense pressure to get rid of the filibuster. And they’ll probably do it.
