In an interview with Fox News that aired Friday night, Trump dismissed the "archaic" rules of the House and Senate using that word four times and suggested they needed to be streamlined for the good of the country. A sampling: We don't have a lot of closers in politics, and I understand why: It's a very rough system. It's an archaic system You look at the rules of the Senate, even the rules of the House but the rules of the Senate and some of the things you have to go through %u2014 it's really a bad thing for the country, in my opinion. They're archaic rules. And maybe at some point we're going to have to take those rules on, because, for the good of the nation, things are going to have to be different You can't go through a process like this. It's not fair. It forces you to make bad decisions. I mean, you're really forced into doing things that you would normally not do except for these archaic rules. And then Trump came out and just said it: He doesn't like the filibuster. I think, you know, the filibuster concept is not a good concept to start off with," he said. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.
