What I hear coming from the dems is, to my mind, hilarious. They are saying, essentially, you won so you had better reach out to us and give us some power or we will continue to pout and obstruct. They sound like 7 year olds.
They know we don't have to reach out, that they need to compromise or be dismissed.
Yes, they need to get out of the way of reform. That is the clear message of this election. Their loyal opposition and input into the construction of legislation is welcome. But obstruction by witholding cloture is like taking the ball and going home when one is losing.
