Trump has simplistic binary thinking, either you win or lose. He has absolutely no knowledge of our constitutional governance structure nor an interest to learn. For that matter, he has no understanding of any issue that has complexity beyond 140 characters.
The filibuster and 60 vote majority is not an antiquated Jeffersonian construct; it insures bipartisan, contemplative governance, distinguishing the Senate from the House.
Constitutional governance is one of those complicated concepts that is far beyond the narrow bandwidth of Mr. Trump’s understanding. Instead, dictatorship is more to his liking and disposition.
