That’s the point of the firebrand President. We have not had a President since FDR who knows how to stand up to special interests and even their own party when necessary.
You mean on principal? Those in Congress with principals are on our side. Those without principals can be convinced it’s in their best interest. Don’t fall for the facade that anything that happens in Congress is ideologically driven.
The point is that it’s a self-imposed handicap. If a party has 50%+ in both houses and the presidency, they have the ability to pass whatever they like and choose not to use it.
You only need 50%+ of the senate to change the rules that allow the filibuster.
Good luck with that.

Why would they listen to him and get rid of the filibuster if they don’t agree with his agenda?

Other than Bernie, who are those?
Their best interest is what can make them the most money, which is why they’re legally allowed to do insider training.

I agree. And they wouldn’t have gotten rid of that handicap if Bernie was president because it benefits them.
