Long term thinking is not something the left is good at. I bet they are wishing they hadn't changed the filibuster rules in the Senate right about now. Oops!
Except Obama was able to get a lot of judges in, except to the Supreme Court of course. Perhaps a stop-gap to some of what the GOP will do to us.
The Oops belongs entirely to those who voted for Trump. As our new energy secretary would say, "oops!" In a televised debate he couldn't even remember the name of the department he now has been appointed to lead, and wanted to abolish That is the pattern of Republicans: appoint people to positions that they want to abolish. Wolves guarding the sheep.
