If you read Lewis' book, or any of 10,000 news items in the last decade, "power" is simply seized these days more than acquired by norms.
The GQP is playing a different game, gaming the system, and simply doing whatever advances their agenda. You know, like what they did to Obama's Supreme Court pick....

To think that the GQP wouldn't have reconstructed the PO Board if the situation was reversed, you are living is to live in a failing "fantasy", and one that hasn't been paying attention the last 5 years.
It is "fantasy" to live in a world thinking the GQP is going to change their power grabbing ways and the Dems have to wait for them to stop.
Simply grabbing power is the entire GQP strategy. This is the party that didn't even have a presidential platform!
Kindly note difference between “news” and “opinion,” in your first sentence, and spare this list your rants and unpleasant characterizations of individuals (“personal-insult-patty” would be the next in your series, I reckon) who try our best to respond civilly to one another, including you. Those of us who vote Democratic are neither deaf nor stupid, and won’t easily from your tutelage when it’s unaccompanied by specifics.
Thank you "Patty" for clarifying how important it is to argue and discuss without insulting. This argument is truly worth having. Let's learn to unravel the possibilities for dealing with outright usurpation that appears to be criminal, and make sure that we can promote ways to confront what is happening before our eyes in a way that can stop the onslaught of damage.
