Republicans went on full trench warfare the last administration, working day and night to halt the slightest bit of progress on anything. I don't see why they would expect anything different from Democrats now.
and yet you guys with potus, senate, house; can't pass a bill of note. Dems are not obstructing a damn thing, you guys have the votes and the only thing trump mitch and ryan can pass is wind...
Twenty eight bills have been passed into law and signed by Trump since he took office. And that's ignoring the number of E.O.'s (that haven't been blocked) that he has signed
Just because your media doesn't report doesn't mean it's not getting done.
Regulations have been cut and restrictions on oil and gas exploration and drilling have been lifted.
The news isn't about the democrats. It's about the split between tea party rebulicans and the Wall Street republicans.
Please see first attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare for reference.

This is crazy stuff.
It's fascinating watching Democrats take a Politico article specifically about Democrats and somehow spin it into an article about Trump.
It's not an article about Trump folks. The Politico story is about Democrats going full obstructionist and their concerns over whether this is the right way to go.
Jeez people, this is why CD has gotten boring. You can't even honestly discuss something anymore without pretending it's about something else.

Well. Quite frankly the article doesn't matter. Nor does trying to blame the democrats for the reason why congress is still not working.
It all on the republicans......ALL OF THEM. Period.
From Politico - "In the Democratic debate about how to deal with Trump, total obstruction — similar to the Republican approach during Obama’s presidency, with hopes it’ll produce the same results in elections — is winning, and selective, principled compromise is starting to seem like a fever dream, despite anxiety in some quarters that Democrats will be blamed for more gridlock in Washington that voters clearly don’t want"
So, Democrats are going to take a page out of Mitch McConnell's playbook. The only problem is, they don't have anyone with half the smarts and patience of a McConnell. Just having non-stop hissy fits and temper tantrums doesn’t play to middle America. Plus Democrats are seriously out of power across the country and need to seriously rebuild their base, and Tom Perez just told any Democrat who doesn't believe in abortion that they aren't welcome in the party.
Trump hatred and obstructionism might be fun, but it'll only last so long, and then where will the Democrat Party stand? Especially with no obvious leader to coalesce around.
Oh quit your whining.
Republicans own the House, Senate, and White House and it's still the Democrats' fault that Trump can't get a bill passed?
The only reason Trump are did not pass is because Republicans are idiots and can't even come up with something they can coherently support (after a decade of time to plan for Obamacare replacement).
The Tea Party had specific goals when the grass roots movement started. Look it up yourself if you don't know them.
What policies is the Dem "resistance" movement espousing as it only seems to be about their hatred of Trump? Sincere question.
I don't think obstructionism because Progressives don't personally like the President is a very effectual message.
