Democrats Take Advantage Of The GOP’s Epic Month Of Dysfunction

Michael McAuliff Senior Congressional Reporter, The Huffington Post

Christine Conetta Producer for HuffPost Live and HuffPost Politics

WASHINGTON – Maybe congressional Democrats should just send their GOP colleagues a thank-you note.

After a month during which Congress failed to make any progress on funding the government, an attempt to protect the Confederate flag killed an appropriations bill and hard-line Republicans in both the House (Rep. Mark Meadows) and Senate (Sen. Ted Cruz) openly challenged their leaders’ integrity and ability, Democrats didn’t have to work hard to portray themselves as the responsible ones as lawmakers headed into their summer break.

Current GOP presidential race front-runner Donald Trump gave their case a boost in June when he called Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists.

The House is leaving town this week until after Labor Day, and the Senate will follow suit the week after. With the debt limit, government funding, a vote on the Iran nuclear deal, long-term highway funding and more all waiting for action in September, it’s no surprise that Democrats seldom missed the chance to point out the GOP’s problems during recent public appearances and a series of interviews with The Huffington Post.

“If Republicans continue to follow the hard right — Donald Trump, Ted Cruz — they’re going to fall right off a political cliff,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a news conference Thursday after the Senate was forced to pass a stopgap measure to fund highways. “And sadly, that looks like where we’re headed.” SOURCE
