re: #103 Daniel Ballard

I’ll stick with how Ezra said it-Cowed the legislature into submission. That (unfortunately) ain’t gonna happen in the coming months. It certainly did happen for some past presidents.

I really, really have no clue what you’re talking about. Yes, there’s still a very large chunk of the population that support the GOP and support obstructionism against Obama, even against his practical policies that are literally those that the GOP held ten years ago. That is a fact.

What I am not getting is why you think popular support equals political support. If it does, how do you explain the GOP opposition to raising taxes on the wealthy, when their own voters support that?
