Talk is cheap and when actually given the reins of power in the government, the Republicans have failed miserably. Their dysfunction, starting at the top with Trump, is on full display and we have become the laughingstock of the world. Perhaps this is why they prefer authoritarianism so much--they don't have to negotiate a thing.

They're greedy, soulless Russian marionettes.

Educate the electorate.

End the radical Republican destruction.

...and, from the rhetoric I’m hearing from the Senate, it appears the current strategy is to lambaste Democrats and pressure dissident Republicans to invoke the nuclear option. Until the new Congress is seated, there’s still every possibility that Repugs will opt to eliminate the filibuster and send the House bill to Trump.

everything they believe and stand for really dont mesh with being the party in power. When Dems are in power they can unite behind keeping the gov't from expanding power, reducing spending, etc, all that. When they actually have to do something instead of hiding behind lofty catch phrases and have to come up with a plan of how to better things and how to actually cut spending, they cant do it.

Think they could actually govern?
