host...the only thing I can say is that I look at the totality of the Democratic "successes" over the last two years (as I painstakingly highlighted above) as opposed to the far smaller number of "failures"....
....that could very well be moved to the "successes" column if they win the WH and a larger majority in Congress.
On the issue of how bills are crafted/combined....someone once said (I think it was Otto von Bismarck):
"Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made".
And no, I am not comparing the Democrats to the German "Iron Chancellor".
