“... The GOP was in charge for a long time. And did NOTHING ...”

How do you define “in charge”, and when the GOP was “in charge”?

Since you either cannot or will not answer, I will answer for you.
The last time “the GOP was in charge” was under George W. Bush,
when the 108th Congress in 2003–2005 had 51 Republicans in the senate;
and when the 109th Congress in 2005–2007 had 55 Republicans in the Senate.
This is prior to Harry Reid evoking the “nuclear option”;
and 60 votes were required to get legislation passed in the senate.

If you want to go back to 1929 and Herbert Hoover...then you might have a point...
