warren will kill filibuster for GC

While the President has no constitutional authority over senate rules, the reality is that the Senate typically bends to Presidential desire, especially when the President's party is in the majority. That happens all the time. The President has great influence over Senate rule-making. Look no farther than McConnell recently stating that he'll work with the President regarding his impeachment defense.

Fear mongering? Just wondering, do you honestly think all would be ok with any one of the current Democrat candidates as President?

I don't believe what you said here for a minute. McConnel only said he would work with the President on this particular issue because he knew all along that the impeachment by the Dims was trumped up and purely political. Other than that, I do not believe that he (or any other Senate leader) would accede to a Presidents demands on Senate rules. Funny thing up there in Washington, they all like to control their own turf.
