(2,807 posts)I fucking despise the Republican fuck wits and their narrow-minded, willfully ignorant agenda. I would love someone to stand up to them more than Obama has. I agree that he attempted to negotiate with them too much, not as much any more, but he did seem to think they would put country over nutbaggery. He was wrong and I knew they wouldn't cooperate on little bit.
Warren was involved in the Consumer Bureau before she was a politician. She had the good fortune that it was at a time when the Democrats controlled things pretty substantially, almost without any political opposition. But had there not been such an advantage, what kind of concessions do you think she could have gotten from the troglodytes had they had more power to stop it? None I'd say.
Like I said, they would not let her head up the commission. So how does that count as "dealing" with them, in any definition of the term?
I like her. But as for "dealing" with Republicans, either making deals, or the other kind, she doesn't have successes. Great rhetoric though. We need someone to get into the office and then "deal" with them.
