Do you agree that the rep party is crashing because some refuse to work with democrats and represent everyone, not just their interests?

For example, stating that they will disapprove of ANY nominations to the supreme court for the next 10 months is ludicrous.

They are so out of reality,it amazes me.

    you are so out of reality that it amazes me. Perhaps you need to know more about procedures for selecting someone to the supreme court. And the rep party is not crashing. It's not that they refuse to work with dems, it's that the persons selected MUST represent everyone.

    You probably heard people say that the republican party is falling apart but they were referring to the republicans who refused to step down so that others could get more votes to win. When people aren't getting votes and they keep hanging around then they are taking votes away from others who could pull the party thru. The purpose is to pull the party thru to a win. So they've been saying the republican party is not united. Even though some know/knew they couldn't get the votes they were still hanging on. (ego?)

    Just the opposite. The reason that the democrats have lost 65 House and 12 Senate seats since Obama became President is because of democrats refusing to work with Republicans.

    You do realize that Obama voted against letting Bush name a justice don't you? Unfortunately both parties do it. Another tidbit as it seems you have forgotten that the Dems had a fillibuster proof House and Senate the first two years Obama was in office, if they wanted things done they could have rammed it down everyones throats!

    No. In fact, a lot of us are mad that the Republicans did not reach across the isle and then knock the other side unconscious and after doing so piss on their unconscious bodies. Now that would have made a lot of us happy. I would love to have seen the black caucus tormented daily. Just asking half of them to spell caucus and then watching them try to do it would have been a riot. I would love to have seen all the avowed socialists in congress absolutely tormented until they could not take it anymore and wanted to jump. I would love to have seen Waters, Holmes Norton, Ried, Pelocy and those like them completely made to face up to what America hating clowns they are and then locked up. I would love to have seen the Rep tell obunghole that he can rim their butthole and then send him some fecal matter to get his taste buds wet.

    Those are the things a lot of us would have loved to have seen. Instead, we had to watch people who supposedly cared about America and her founding documents play right along with the America haters. And many of you wonder why Trump is so popular.

    I see a scenario similar to the Neanderthal and Cro Magnon. The republicans are the Neanderthals. They will not survive as a separate party, but as an absorbed entity which fails to sustain an identity. Trump is the symbolic leader of the Neanderthals and as such is unable to provide any means of continuation.

    No more than the Democrats are responsible for not working with Republicans. After all it was Obama who said that they won so Republicans would have to deal with them.

    They're crashing because they DO work with democrats!

  • 5 years ago

    even Democratic in both the house and the senate have express concern that Obama will not even work with them instead of his way or the highway

    Things started falling apart when political ideology began becoming more important than compromise.
