I really hope voters remember what Republicans are doing in 2018 and 2020. They refuse to confirm any judge before an election, refuse to put up a budget before an election, want all government agencies to stop working before the new administration takes office. They wont be in power forever so the things they pull will hopefully come back to bite them in the ass the next time they are not the majority party in congress and the next time a Democrat is president.
I would love to think that was true, but I just can't. I would've thought the last 6 years of pure obstructionist behavior would've gotten most of the Republicans in Congress booted. Instead the same ones got voted in again. It's very disheartening.
Sadly that is true, Republicans promised to block Hillary from nominating anyone or passing any bills and they gained 2 seats in the house and won the presidency. Somehow voters are ok with nothing getting done no matter how much they complain about things not getting done. But the only good thing is typically in the midterm election the party in power loses control of one or both houses in congress. We will see how it turns out in 2018 and 2020 and if Democrats remind voters what Republicans have done.

Republicans claim the government doesn't work. When they gain control, Surpise!!!! It doesn't work.
