        Because it never would have occurred to the GOP, now in power, to change it themselves? As if they didn't bypass rules TODAY? @mkraju

        Had incensed Sanders surrogates not painted Hillary as a monster to other Dems, that could've prevented Tillerson as well

        BS. The GOP would have just used the nuke option. The first threat of this started with Bill Frist in 2005

        The real question is whether the Repubs would have changed filibuster rules post-winning the Senate anyway.

        .@mkraju The long term.answer can't be to fillibuster everything. It must be to win back Senate. Democracy still matters.

        you don't know that. Filibuster of an SOS is different than voting against one who will pass anyway. Way different.

        No, had Dems not changed filibuster rules.....GOP would've. *This* GOP is not letting anything important get blocked.

        Not so, even supposing no rule change this year. Cloture votes and final votes are not identical.

        That is unfair & you know it. They did that to get more judges in seats. If they hadn't, R's would be marching them in as we speak.
