This was not about passing a bill.

All the Dems wanted was a debate on voting rights.

You can't compromise with these anti American thugs.

There will be no bipartisanship.

There will be no crossing the aisle.

All the right cares about is obstruction !!!!

Oh fuck, Ted Cruz is up.

But Republicans were human in the 60's when they broke the Dixiecrats' filibuster. Back then, you needed 67 votes to break a filibuster, and the Republicans delivered. How I wish we had a few of those Republicans back.

And draw the phantom bipartisan goop votes.

He failed. Miserably and spectacularly.

His antics have grown old.
