The book also revealed a previously unreported call between then-Vice President Mike Pence and former Vice President Dan Quayle.

    He also dispelled the myth that one needs 60 votes to pass legislation, and yet, I still have to hear Democratic supporters make that excuse for why they never fulfill their promises.

      It really is amazing what one can do when the obstructionists are on your side.

        What’s amazing is seeing a president who isn’t content to make excuses.

          I’m not sure which president you’re referring to. Trump made a pretty big excuse when Khashoggi was killed for why he wasn’t even going to wag his finger at Saudi Arabia. Or we could talk about his excuse for why he couldn’t reform the ACA.

          I honestly think you and I are on pretty close to the same page as far as American politics are concerned, with the exception of the value of activist votes in the presidential election. I do hope your system gets updated to the point where the will of the people becomes or returns to being relevant, depending on your opinions about American history, and I hope mine gets fixed before that is no longer the case.

            I really think we’re not.

            But thanks for the discussion.
