I always find Jonathan Chait to have an interesting perspective and this morning's article is no different.
He believes that McConnell "did not become majority leader by cooperating" and that his approach is that the electorate doesn't blame Congress for gridlock. Chait sites a statistic that only 40% of the public even knows which party controls each house.
McConnell ' s next move, more of the same. Stalemate. No public attention just grinding stalemate that will demoralize the "disengaged" voter.
He believes that McConnell has figured out the only way for Republicans to win the Whitehouse suppress the vote by grinding them down so they have no hope and relationship of their vote to their everyday life.
I say again, that every week there needs to be a push of what the Republicans refuse to do for America. Start with transportation infrastructure because it means jobs. Each congressional district with what road isn't being built or repaired and why. The same works on the farm bill and general lack of investment in our infrastructure.
I hope you will read his article and give your thoughts. Chait's article appears here
