You can’t do anything about the filibuster if you leave the Senate to be President.

Well, everyone can do something about it by supporting it - otherwise it will never happen.
In MA, what are the rules for selecting a replacement Senator anyway, and how come I was more upset that Sherrod Brown might run than I am that Warren IS running? I'm thinking that in MA there will be a special election, but in OH the guv picks a successor for the rest of the term.
Dunno. Hmmm, how could I find out.....

Either could be in a position to not veto such legislation.

The filibuster is asinine, especially in a Senate that is already skewed towards minority control.
To me this is almost a disqualifying issue. How any Presidential candidate can be against this is mind-boggling. I'm looking at you Booker.
