Just Curious - What Does Hillary Think About This Filibuster Issue?.....

I'm just projecting ahead. If she is the Dem nominee in 2016 and if she wins - this filibuster rule would likely impact on her presidency.

She could either get a lot done - if the Dems have control of the Senate - or - she could be blocked like Obama - if the Dems lose control of the Senate.

It would seem to me that she has a horse in this game - (albeit she hasn't declared that she is even seeking the nomination) - does anyone here think that she's been brought into the loop on this decision by Reid today?

Any battles that Hillary must fight can be fought if and when she wins the nomination, the election in 2016, and becomes President in 2016.

Our government was not intended to be dictated by a minority.
