Warren has the Senate's gridlock problem all wrong

Elizabeth Warren wants to end gridlock in the Senate, and she believes eliminating the filibuster is the way to do it.

In South Carolina’s presidential debate, Warren asserted that Democrats such as Bernie Sanders were empowering Republicans to block the next president’s agenda by supporting the filibuster. She argued that, in doing so, they were giving Republicans a veto over legislative priorities such as gun safety legislation and comprehensive immigration reform. Warren declared that Democrats would be unable to get their agenda through the Senate as long as they are unwilling to eliminate the filibuster.
