(27,255 posts)31. How he proposes to stop the GOP from obstructing:
When asked what he would do if McConnell was still Senate majority leader and he was president, he said he would hold rallies. Rallies would knock sense into Republicans and both sides are corrupt.
"I'll tell you, before I put anything on his plate, I would be in the state of Kentucky holding a rally, with tens of thousands of people, to say ... that we need the minimum wage, a state that is really suffering for lack of health care. We're really going to rally the American people in Kentucky. The point I make over and over, Rachel, is the ideas that I talk about are the ideas the American people want. They don't get it because you got a Congress indebted to wealthy campaign contributors."
Ridiculous. Come on.

There's no such thing as "fighting", though. It's just something online people made up.

If they have the senate majority, I can assure you, it will be very easy for them to obstruct.
