I think the basic argument is Republicans find a way, clear any obstacle to advance their agenda. Democrats don't and that's costly as DC learned today. The moral of the story is that Democrats need to act much more aggressively next time in power. DC is just one example.
Yea, it’s always been that way. Repubs fall in line in the end after all the theatrics are over. Repubs are bunch of white guys who will be a minority one day and they know it. Managing Dems is like herding cats. Dems are more diverse. But yea, Dems need to be more aggressive. Some are but not all.
