Bachelder letter: Republicans in Congress

Should we pity the poor Republicans in Congress now that they don’t have Obama to kick around anymore? I remember when Obama was first elected they said, “We won’t let him get anything passed.” At the end of his presidency they said, “We won’t have a hearing for his Supreme Court nominee.” Now they have Trump to contend with. I’d like to see them bully Donald Trump the way they bullied Barack Obama. I can hardly wait. Let the new era begin. I’ll be here LOL.
