And we’re going to leave these right here:
painfully obvious: harry reid asked (3years ago) if he'll regret the invoking the nuclear option. "no of course not"

Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done.
— Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) November 21, 2013
Among those who encouraged Reid to consider filibuster reform? None other than Sen. Ron Wyden:
“I supported what was done,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat. “I think it was in the public interest then. I think it is still in the public interest.”
You helped make this bed, Senator. Now, you get to lie in it.
You all obviously disagree with that, which is why you invoked the nuclear option in 2013. #Hypocrites
