Why is there a public perception that the Republicans are effectively still in control of Congress?
When the Republicans led Congress, they were quite successful, using procedural and political tactics, in blocking the Democratic Party's agenda.
Why is it that the Republican Party, now the minority, seem to maintain this power? Allowing the minority party a seat at the table may seem like the civil and polite way to govern, but it has resulted in the public perception of a deadlocked, do-nothing Congress, or worse, one in which the majority party capitulates to the minority party even when polling shows that the majority party has the backing of the majority of the population. What have you done to alter this perception?
