when in doubt democrats fall back on "the rules" to excuse inaction and republicans say "fuck the rules."
always thus.
always thus.
and its worse when you're the one making the rules.
and they always think "well, if its in the rules, the republicans won't go after it." meanwhile republicans are over here saying that by inhaling and exhaling democrats are in violation of the constitution.
obamacare: democrats say "well fellas, we did it by the book" and the gop spent *years* running to scotus, federal courts, etc saying "nope, nope, nope, it violates the constitution." they knew most of it was bullshit, but they fought. and they got a few wins.
democrats will never ever understand that regular people understand "we tried but they fucked us over" is a better message than "we couldnt... because of the rules."
