WaPo:

The Republicans' aggressive moves caught the Democrats off guard. Although they had come to expect tough GOP tactics in the House, they were stunned when the strategies moved to the Senate, where relations between the parties have been less confrontational. Some Democrats now regret they did not react more quickly and aggressively.

Golly.

The Republicans steal a presidential election (say 38% (back) of the American people) and the Dems think it's going to be business as usual...

The consequence:

Nearly half the electorate -- people who chose Democrats to represent them in Congress -- are, to an increasing degree, disenfranchised. Their representatives aren't simply outvoted on the House and Senate floors, they're not even present when key legislation is discussed and refined.

Get it through your thick heads, Dems: The Republicans are playing for all the marbles, for keeps.

"A boot stamping on a human face—forever."
