Pence believes detention center problems are Congress fault

What a idiot.. That pivot won't fly. They create the situation and blame others for the problems.. It's like you break a water pipe and then complain you can't fix it because the water bucket is too small... Jeeze..

"It's like you break a water pipe and then complain you can't fix it because the water bucket is too small"
and then you blame the professional plumbers you hired several years ago for leaving you with the small water bucket

I can only imagine the folks at the bar or the few relatives I have repeating this nonsense and there is no way to argue with them about it because it is completely untrue.

Same here. Even when you use a analogy that even THEY can understand, they don't or won't believe it.. I think it's in their genes. Like trying to make a left handed person write with their right hand..

always blame, never accept responsibility. even if you changed the policy when you had control of the house.

they'll never move off of it. they'll never tell the truth, except accidentally.

it gives their voters a perfect method to derail the conversation.
