President Donald Trump on Wednesday took to Twitter in another attempt to shame Senate Republicans into changing the filibuster rules.

If Republican Senate doesn't get rid of the Filibuster Rule & go to a simple majority, which the Dems would do, they are just wasting time!

The President covered a lot during last night's rally.  This was just a part of it.

Trump is right as rain on this but the denzions of the swamp don't want to get anything done!

He's right.

That ought to be a requirement of his offer to help any conservative Senate candidates in 2018 -- a pledge to vote against the filibuster once they're in office.
