I don’t remember the compost telling obama that using his pen (EO’s) for the winner takes all game was a bad thing.

Well-said, Catnip. I couldn’t agree more.

If Republicans play winner-takes-all, everyone will lose Hey WaPo dirtholes!
When the parties agree, the people get screwed.
"We The People" are sick to death of your destructive RAT policies.

But some wiser GOP leaders are at least questioning whether exploiting their majority to maximum effect would be good for the country or, for that matter, the party Hmm...wonder how the Rats would respond to such an opportunity. Oh wait, don't have to wonder, check out California!
The "wiser" GOP leaders are establishment leaders who voted for Clinton.

The Compost has an “editorial board?”
Someone should wack them in the a$$ with it.
Some great person once said “Elections have consequences.”

Why is that different from the Democrats doing “winner takes all?”

"We lost but we should still rule"Well that has been traditional in Congress. They lose their majorities but they still control the agenda and procedure. Nancy Pelosi is still the boss of the House.

If the Republicans in Congress play "winner takes all" then the Democrats will take control and run things as they have through Republican majorities since New left. The Republicans in Congress who are "winners" because they have a majority, are firmly allied with the Democrats and their idea of "winner takes all" means that Trump and the half dozen actual House conservatives don't get anything at all. Winner takes all in the House means full steam Obstruction.

Oh, shut up, WaPo.
How short do you think our memories are?
The rats took full advantage of the power they won in 2008, and rubbed it in the faces of the right.
Time for the pendulum to swing the other way.
