“I'd throw in two suggestions. Abolish the filibuster, so that a bunch of vengeance-prone spoiled-sport Republicans do no block Obama's plans - or opt for some nuclear option plan which will circumvent the endless morass that is the US Senate.”
That would be a foolish thing to do because what would happen when the Democrats are in the minority again?
That would bring a lot of instability to the country: the basic laws would be changing every time there is a new majority in the Senate.
