It is amusing to me that not one person has considered that the Rs were doing exactly what their constituents wanted them to, and that is why they are not paying the price politically for their tactics.
Likewise, no one has postulated that, perhaps, they way that Democrats go about their business, was in any way a proximate cause of the loss of the Senate, House, Presidency, and numerous state legislatures and Governorships.
I know not many of you live in deep red states, but the idea of anyone mobilizing voters to hold R's accountable in many areas of the country is laughable. Especially when it comes from people who think that McCain used to be filled with integrity and that he's the one that was punished for such. Isn't that inconsistent with the common agreement that everybody, including the GOP Senators, hates Ted Cruz? Lindsay Graham just got around to apologizing for his killing Cruz on the Senate floor joke. I don't think my Congressman (who sucks, btw) would be persuaded by calls to act any differently. My calls regarding his participation in the GOP failure theater and pointless show votes that don't really matter, but then capitulating on matters of substance seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
