Drivel......

The House passed all sorts of stuff passed up to the Senate where it was not taken up because it had no chance of receiving 60 votes. The most glaring example is Obamacare that was passed up I believe 51 or 57 times.

Your anti Republican charges are fashionable but not really true.

The fact is, the Republican House had no more power than the current Democrat House in the face of a Senate with a Republican majority but lacking 60 votes.

Politics is still the art of the possible

Couldn’t McConnell have reduced it to simple majority of 51? I think so, but he refused.
