Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and others have strongly railed against abolishing the filibuster, although President Trump sees it as a pathway for approving the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.


On Monday, Darline Graham said she is “100 percent behind” the president and that Trump has in turn embraced the political newcomer with open arms.


In early July, the president said he asked her to run for Senate for the “Good of our Nation.”

What good would nuking the filibuster do? Republicans pass the save act and Democrats will use a slim majority to overturn it AND give illegals citizenship. Once they do that there will be no reversing it even if Republicans regain power - which will never happen if Democrats should take control again.

I know the argument is that Democrats will nuke the filibuster anyway. I am not so sure about that. There are Democrats like Fetterman that will not go along with a plan to end the filibuster. When push comes to shove I believe there are other Democrats that will not cross that line no matter how many others hem and holler about it.
