That being the case, you would think they might have accomplished something by now.

Dunno, worked well for the Republicans to be honest. And since Trump spends most of his spare time insulting the other party, or using clearly racist insults like "Pocahontas" against them, I seriously doubt they will feel like doing anything else.

Act like a childish bully, and then complain that the other side doesn't want to play? Yeah, thats logical

Controls all branches of government, complains they can't get anything done.

Don't know what to do because their policies are actually retarded and as a result can't even agree among themselves. One side is kind of moderate appease them and the crazy backs out or and vice versa.

Realize even if it passes the batcrap crazy house it has no chance in a much more moderate Senate.

You've gerrymandered yourself into the crazy, deal with it. Of course you'll just blame someone else. Democrats sound good.

Blame Democrats!

Part of the problem is that 2/3rds of the house republicans has never had any job but obstructing. That doesn't really prepare them for being responsible for their votes. I suspect as time passes they will improve at it, but by then I also suspect they won't be in the drivers seat as much.

People voted these people in on rhetoric, with no history of leadership.

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.
