There should be a return to the Constitution which required a simple majority.

I don't know why he posts this sort of nonsense. What's the point of eliminating the filibuster if the Republicans can't even deliver 50 votes on key legislation like the ObamaCare repeal/reform?

So long as it takes 60 votes to allow a vote, the Senate is not functioning as intended by the founders.
The purpose of the rule is to allow unlimited debate. If the Democrats want to stay up all night every night till the cows come home, they should be made to do that. The rule has been been perverted to mean that there are no consequences to insisting on unlimited debate with no intention of debating continuously for ever.
If Senators insist on maintaining the rule, they must insist on staying up all night every night.
