Conservatives NOW wonder if they should have worked with Democrats a little.

 (Sen Mitch) McConnell is already on record as having ordered the Republican strategy of obstruction before President Barack Obama even took office. Six years later, it seems no one is impressed with the rather predictable results. Average Americans are suffering due to Republican refusal to pass anything under this president including things that used to be non-partisan and normal like an extension of unemployment insurance during hard times. Democrats are enraged that Republicans continue to hurt the country out of pique that they keep losing elections, and Republicans are upset that McConnell’s tactics aren’t working.
Where is the GOP wave that they were promised?
Republicans are questioning McConnell’s wisdom so much, they are wondering if they shouldn’t have tried to work with Democrats, according to Bolton’s source who told him, “There’s no question Harry Reid is very tough to deal with, but some of us wonder whether we should have tried to go around him to work with other Democrats.”

In summation, Republicans are questioning McConnell’s obstruction strategy and conservatives are questioning his failure to obstruct enough. Meanwhile, Democrats are frustrated by the games McConnell plays in the Senate and the way he repeatedly goes back on his words and promises. McConnell has no honor, but that’s part of what Republicans like about him. He knows how to manipulate the legislative process. And he should; he’s been doing it for a long time.
