despite Republicans holding a sizeable House majority and a slim Senate majority, institutional voting rules often prevent those majorities from enacting sweeping changes.

Then how is it that the dumocrats change the rules every time they perceive a loss of their vote? She is clueless.

Never mind that many of the loudest shouters likely did not vote in 2008 or 2012 against Barack Obama. Or apparently they do not understand that, despite Republicans holding a sizeable House majority and a slim Senate majority, institutional voting rules often prevent those majorities from enacting sweeping changes.

B.S. detector: institutional elite duplicity prevented the majority from having any impact at all.

They did make sweeping changes. The Senate flipped the Constitution on its head to make sure the Iran weapons deal (and their bomb) got passed.

You never heard the RATS squealing and moaning about not being able to do anything because they only had 1/2 of 1/3 of the power in the District of Coruption. They changed the rules as they went along to pass what they wanted - e.g. using the reconciliation rule in the Senate to jam SCOTUScare down our throats with not one GOP vote and the American population NEVER ever approving of it.

Meanwhile over on the GOP side, they will NOT even use the founders tools that were given to them by using the power of the purse or IMPEACHMENT. And to top that off they handed Obie a blank check to raise the debt ceiling to whatever he wants!!!

Yes, she really is clueless and yes enough is enough.

This month we are going to be treated to more announcements coming out of the LIAR-IN-CHIEF'S pie hole on how is going to set the stage for President Shrillary's eventual gun confiscation, and what will the GOP do? Let's bring another law suit?!?!?!
