McConnell shoots down Trump's call to end the filibuster
By Jordain Carney - 05/02/17 02:37 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is shooting down President Trump's push for Republicans to change the Senate's rules for blocking legislation.

Asked if Republicans would nix the 60-vote filibuster to allow legislation to pass by a simple majority, McConnell told reporters, "That will not happen."

"There is an overwhelming majority on a bipartisan basis not interested in changing the way the Senate operates on the legislative calendar" on legislation, McConnell said during a weekly press conference.

And there you go. Mitch all up into his tradition and bipartisanship for it's own sake, standing for nothing and playing right into the Democrats hands.
