"Republican Congress, Joe."

That and the need for more Democrats in the Senate to break Republican obstructionism.

He simply said "Republicans" and then just stared into the silence.

Brilliant.

Then the guy who moments before whined that he couldn't get make progress because Nancy Pelosi wouldn't let him told him "you have to convince them, Joe."

the Senate and House Republicans were blocking absolutely every Obama initiative after the first year. (When the stimulus first had to get done because of the Bush recession).

Glad he finally got there

AMERICAN BUSINESSES PAY YOUR TARIFFS.

YOU LIE ABOUT THIS ALL TIME!

It really annoys me he's been allowed to largely get away with making this claim over and over and mostly not been called out on it. I wish Joe had.

What has Donald done? Fucking can't even pass spending plans to fund the government with republicans in power!

Fire every republican. Clean slate the place with new junior democrats.

Our family has voted. Now it's up to us to keep people voting who haven't voted. Shut down the republicans, all of them!
