The republicans won't have the gonads to do to the democrats what they do the republicans. If the Repubs ever get back into some sort of power, they will immediately start “reaching across the aisle” and trying to work together and including dems in key power positions. You almost have to respect the dems as power brokers because they go for the throat and do not let up till they get what they want. They are all a bunch of worthless politicians, for themselves and only themselves. The repubs will always get what they deserve due to their spineless actions. The problem is that we suffer with them.

I’m not sure that is true. Remember, Republicans used reconciliation, aka the nuke option, ten times between 1994 and 2006. 10 times in 12 years is quite a precedent making the nuke option seem like ordinary methodology in the Senate.
