1. Lol. Funny.

2. Wake up and smell the reality, Senator: There are no moderate republicans in Congress anymore.

Stop thinking you can reach across the aisle. Compromise is weakness to them. Our side needs to figure out how to play hardball with these fuckers.

3. This Guy Either Doesn't, Or Refuses, To Get It

He always acts like they are decent people who will listen to his appeal. That is his response every time no matter how many times he is proven wrong. I've been wondering about his ever since trump got into office.

4. No matter...

Republicans can not be trusted. Their pledge is worthless as we have all seen many times!

7. Need extra long arms to reach across that aisle.

The aisle will narrow when they want austerity, more tax cuts and ways of inflicting pain.

8. That right there is the biggest problem with some of today's Democrats.

They still think republicon scum will work with them, will show integrity or decency, and can be reasoned with.

It's long past time for Democrats to stop wasting time "reaching across the aisle". I'm sick of getting fucked over when republicons repeatedly take advantage of that kind of naivete.

9. r's have been skating by too long on the attenuated vapors of collegiality from an era long past..

This is going to provide an opportunity for them to show us, and their colleagues, exactly who they are. Hopefully the lesson will stick with folks like Sen. Coons.
