You get an F- in civics. Without a 60-vote majority in the Senate a Party doesn't truly control anything. Despite threats by Schumer to do away with the filibuster rule he was just smart enough to not walk that plank. Imagine how Democrats would be screaming right now if they had and then lost both houses, the Presidency and the Court. Republicans are at least smart enough to know to not mess with it no matter how tempting it may be as it would remove an important roadblock to irrational lawmaking. It is bad enough now on the part of both sides.Cooperation? What you mean like if you had the Presidency, Congress, Senate and Supreme Court?
