Why do Republicans insist on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? We won the election. We have a mandate.
We have slim majorities in Congress, but the American people sent Washington, D.C. a signal to end business as usual.So what do we see in the swampiest of American political swamps?

Kennedy, Jr.
