He credited the truce to Democrat lawmakers Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who McConnell said sided with the GOP.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-pw-in-article=\"true\"><strong>\u201cSenator Manchin, yesterday, made it clear he was not going to support getting rid of the legislative filibuster under any circumstances for the duration of this Congress,\u201d McConnell stated. \u201cI talked to Senator Sinema last night, she said the same thing, so the issue as far as I\u2019m concerned is resolved.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-pw-in-article=\"true\"><strong>On Monday, McConnell said he would drop his push to get official confirmation that the upper chamber would keep the filibuster. He indicated the flipping of Sinema and Manchin waned Democrats\u2019 power to kill the controversial practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">There is another aspect to this. Historically Republicans are quite happy to be the minority in Congress. They don&#8217;t seem to know how to lead when they actually have power. Possibly because they don&#8217;t seem to be able to work as a team&#8211;even with each other. There were many opportunities for doing good things for the country while President Trump was in office that were lost because some Republicans didn&#8217;t like his tweets, or his hair, or his tie, or some other foolishness. The Republicans as they are currently in Congress do not deserve to be in leadership. They don&#8217;t know how to lead, and they have lost touch with the average American. There are a few exceptions to that, but only a few.<\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One America News is reporting today that at least for now, the filibuster will remain in the Senate.
