and what we got was the leader of the Republican Senate saying his number one priority is making sure president Obama’s a one-term president. Well, our number one priority is making sure president tRump’s a three quarter-term president. That crap got us no where. I saw all those retiring senators saying the Senate was broken and wondering when it happened. It happened when McConnell stated his goal. It happened when Obama's stimulus was muted so he wouldn't get credit for bringing the country back as soon as he did.
