The job is not easy to do BECAUSE of Harry Reid. He could have forced filibuster reform He did not.

Don't ask for sympathy about how tough the job is when Harry Reid is the guy who could have made it a lot easier, but chose not to make it a lot easier because then he would actually have to do his job rtaher than throw up his hands about how hard the job is.
