I reluctantly agree with pizzaeagle

Democrats continue to make the same (mistake) over and over. They fail to adapt to changing circumstances and adopt the tactics that have made Republicans so successful over the last 10 years or so. The answer is OBSTRUCTION. There is no reason to EVER work with a President of the opposite party. By obstructing everything, you deny them a win. Most voters are not very politically savvy, they don't follow congressional vote counts. All they know is, 'Trump failed to deliver on healthcare!' or whatever.

So rethugs have no one to blame but themselves, and their decade of putting themselves and their bigotry and their greed first over good of the country as a whole, for us now doing the same.

We have fought to long and hard to let them destroy all the good we have achieved.
