Her Motive May Be Holding Her Seat

 

But her speech, pointing out that destroying the filibuster to pass this session's "must have" bill has two destructive effects:

1. It makes it easier for Republicans with a one seat majority to ram stuff through after the next election (when everyone knows Republicans will control both houses).

2. This "ram things through on purely partisan lines" is aggravating the polarization of American politics.

We should all applaud a speech that says the right things, even if she is just trying to win  re-election.
