Schadenfreude alert! This Harry Reid brag from 2013 is backfiring BIG TIME

The U.S. Senate will at some point be voting on Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees, and former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer doesn’t think any challenges will be made:

I am sure Team Trump has done zero vetting of these nominees, but it almost doesn't matter bc the GOP Senate will be a pathetic rubber stamp

Possible stall tactic?

Dems should filibuster nominees they don't like… https://t.co/fcvQ8bfqS8

Ha! That might have been a good suggestion for the Dems, that is, until then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2013 took power away from the minority:

Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done.

Way to go, senator!

You just gave a free pass to the next President you doofus. https://t.co/k4GAZfY3sM

Sound the failhorn in honor of Harry Reid!

You can thank Harry Reid for every single one of Trump's cabinet picks making it through the confirmation process. https://t.co/VM6LkcqXRv

Trump, if he wishes, can put Satan on SCOTUS. Can appoint anyone he wants to his cabinet. Dems are powerless to stop. Because of you. Bravo! https://t.co/RumTHmpYgw
