    Fun Fact. Every year is an election year. Also Fun Fact. He hasn’t been sitting on his ass for the last three years, he’s been pushing legislation all the time. How you or the news wants to phrase things doesn’t change that.

      In those three years of pushing legislation why didn’t they tackle this “winning” issue? If I were elected I would assume I only have four years and do all I can in that time and not hold an issue hostage for re-election, but I’m not a politician.

        When you’re actually doing your job, you can’t change everything overnight. He has a ton on his plate, and hasn’t had a legislative mandate to pass whatever the party wants. They never had a liberal majority in the Senate, they have to deal with two senators who don’t agree with everything they want.
