“accomplishing absolutely nothing notable in the Senate”
Let’s see . . . option #1 = go along to get along with GOP-e or
option #2 = try to talk Mitch and the GOP-e into doing what is right and getting out of their cozy nest or
option #3 cooperate like Rubio tried to do with the slime balls in the Gang of 8,
or option #4 be straight up and just call BS on all of it and filibuster with no support.
You might have some others options, but calling Mitch a liar and trying to filibuster bad bills is fine with me.
And that's the problem. You're satisfied with meaningless accomplishments.
I'm not.
Now Trump manages to get at least four issues front and center that had previously been studiously ignored (when they weren't trying to sneak them past us) by both the media and the political class, and does it with zero elected authority, and some folks treat him like a whore that married into money.
Sorry. Anyone who can accomplish the sea-change in Presidential politics Trump has, without even being elected to anything, deserves a chance to show what he can do WITH an elective office.
