Democrats need to start playing hardball

Republicans are slimy and use every trick in the law to get what they want or to hold up process....Democrats need to start using these same tactics and stop treating the Republicans as distinguished colleagues...I read somewhere where Pelosi can reject to seat an elected House member....the rule was probably established only to be used in extraordinary circumstances when you had a member who a criminal or had done something very wrong, but that is the kind of rule that Republicans would use to get what they want...we need to start being as vindictive as them or nothing will change...they will continue to know that we are weak and won’t do anything....regardless of what Democrats do, the MSM always play the ‘both sides’ meme, so why not start acting like both sides are guilty
