And to think just a few weeks ago the Republican party was going the way of the Whigs.

This is nothing compared to the crazy that is the Republican party

Sorry for your premature celebration. You should see a doctor.

At this point, democrats are arguing with each other.

The republicans have spent six years running competing candidates against incumbents in primaries.

Hopefully, you see the difference.
Power is nothing till you use it.

I have to agree.  I don't see the Democrats as divided.  I see them as gravely misled, but it seems they are all becoming aware of that and coming together as a group to find a remedy.  Of course they are not all there yet, and many like Pelosi are still trying to redefine the problem, create new analogies, and otherwise save face, but ultimately I think they will all stick together.  

Unfortunate for the president, they will all stick together against him in trying to distance themselves from the ACA.  The good news for them is that most of the ACA was an executive exercise.  In fact most Democrats never even got a chance to read it, they simply took the president's word.

Democrats may actually gain some traction in all of this.  As for the Republican party, unless they are able to cultivate an influx of young voters, they are on very rocky ground.

I wonder what Pelosi thinks "now that we know what's in it".

It's called the Democratic Party and it's comprised of people called Democrats.

Want to know how bad it is? Chris Matthews is real close to having a moment requiring medicating. Seriously, watch him it is hilarious. Can't wait for Maddow.
