As you said, McConnell (and others) have said it was purely political. Same it was for the other 8 years of obstruction from the GOP. That doesn't make it right for the Democrats to do it. And if they do do it that call it even and get back to work...at least they can say they tried to even things out.
Then how do the Democrats ever win? If it was a football game and one team gets 8 downs to get a first down and is never penalized for breaking the rules and the other team gets one down to get a first but when they have the ball the defense gets to light it on fire and swing chains at them then which team do you think will win? That is in effect what you are advocating. And, Mitch "biggestposcsinamerica" McConnell thanks you for cheering his team to victory.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
