They had two years between the election of Barack Obama and the 2010 midterm elections in which they lost the House of Representatives (in part due to the usual nexus between economic and political power in which those who have the gold make the rules, as the late oilman H. L. Hunt put it). With even one house of Congress the Republicans could stop any reform not of their liking. Unchecked as they now are they can get away with much.
Donald Trump is the cruelest and most corrupt President ever -- by far!
