So you're saying you want to keep the filibuster? I'm saying the filibuster has a place because we probably wouldn't. I mean, chances are we need to win elections all The filibuster has a place because we probably won't always be in the majority in the Senate. And when we're not in the majority, we enjoy the filibuster. Right. That was Kevin Kramer's point. He basically said that had the filibuster been gone, that it would have benefited Democrats way more than it would have benefited 100%. (06:36–06:41)
