if you are willing to listen to, one, Elizabeth Warren, is not to pass anything this year ... or even next year ... (though that would be nice); but rather to run the table in 2016 and secure the House, the Senate and the Whitehouse. Then, and only then, will we get the legislation that supports/benefits the working and middle classes.

ETA: Are you suggesting that Elizabeth Warren and Elijah Cummings are a part of this "Sleight of hand", "meme act"?

When he could, he didn't.


When, exactly, did Democrats have the numbers to pass anything progressive?

Sometimes the quarterback is playing for the 1% team.


And other times, the Quarterback plays for the Democratic team ... he just doesn't call the play the fans, sitting in front of the TV, on their couches (or in the bar), want him to call, when they want him to call it.
