[quote=Anonymous]That brief period was the first and only true supermajority since the 1970s IIRC. Dems spent most of it (9 months?) trying to find middle ground with Republicans on ACA, and that turned out to be a waste of time because Republicans turned around and attacked ACA as soon as they could. Given how polarized Trump and the Republicans have made politics now, you can rest assured that if/when Dems get a supermajority again anytime soon, they will pass anything and everything on their wish list without even trying to get Republican support. IMHO, Republicans have screwed themselves in the long term, because they have united the Dems and most independents against them for at least the next decade or two. Expect a lot of major legislation after the 2020 election, because its looking like Dems will get a supermajority then. [/quote]
