The desperation of the Dems
Red States: ... So, let me get this straight. Democrats control both branches of partisan government (Congress and the executive), yet it’s the job of Republicans to propose solutions for problems that the Democrats caused (and continue to cause)? To coin a Southern phrase, that dog won’t hunt. It’s not only insultingly nonsensical given the power dynamics, but it also absconds from the fact that Democrats won’t listen to anything Republicans suggest anyway.
