Trump: GOP 'Wasting Time' If They Don't Scrap Filibuster Rule

President Donald Trump on Wednesday took to Twitter in another attempt to shame Senate Republicans into changing the filibuster rules.

If Republican Senate doesn't get rid of the Filibuster Rule & go to a simple majority, which the Dems would do, they are just wasting time!

Trump, still smarting from the upper chamber's failure to pass repeal legislation of Obamacare, has repeatedly hammered away at Republicans to change Senate rules, something Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly vowed not to do.
