Three things need to happen
1. POTUS must ask for a Democratic House to get things done and end gridlock. HE has to do it. Not his surrogates or friendly media.
Him.
2. Reid has to get rid of the filibuster. All of it. Talk of one day we will be in the minority is a canard. The GOP will do damn well whatever they please no matter what their majority is because democrats do not obstruct, and more improtantly, the GOP will get rid of the filibuster in a heartbeat if they have the chance. We do not have a parliamentary system. Majority rules. Period.
3. If we get the House, pass all progressive legislation right away. No waiting. All the biggies, Everything within a few months: immigration reform, election reform, finance reform, tax increases for the 1% and loopholes closed. And then let it unfold. People will like what they see, and the majorities will stay majorities for a long time.
The above does not require courage. It is simple common sense made glaringly apparent after even a cursory look at the political landscape.
