Way, maybe you deserve to lose the majority. in the senate as a democrat. especially on something as important as voting rights. >> yasmin, i rarely agree with joe, but this is something that i have been saying since it became clear that democrats would have control of the senate. i said, act accordingly. that means, those ruthless tactics that mcconnell has used to force through judges and tax bills to get his agenda done. take some notes, apply those notes and get this done because failure is ...
