I do wonder why Reps have been rather bad at pushing policy out while they're held the House. I too don't doubt that Pelosi will try and push as much legislation to the Senate as possible to force Reps to take a stand on positions. Dems would be smart to do that so they can run on how much work they tried to accomplish when they held control of the House.

I don't see that calling out the D's is any sillier than the comment calling out the R's that it was responding to.

As I've said many times, there are a number of things that I would have pushed if I were leading the republicans. I think the real problem is a lack of leadership. I'll give Ryan a pass, since he clearly got drafted into a job that the did not want. But I don't think McConnell or Boehner could lead a sex addict to a whorehouse.

Democrats have had the perfect situation. They can obstruct everything and blame republicans for not getting anything done. They'd rather have an issue to piss and moan about than let anything be solved. And republicans have failed to hold their feet to the fire. I find it all very disturbing.
