It has been obvious since the day President Trump took office that removing him from office was the primary goal of the Democrats, especially in the House. But, back in February of this year Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D., N.J.) expressed frustration with her Democratic colleagues in that they refuse to pass legislation the president favors and will help the citizens of this country.
She says the reason why is that no matter how beneficial a bill might be the Democrats don’t want to give Trump a win.
Sherrill said:
“When I go, you know, I’ve gone up to people and said, ‘I need to get this piece of legislation passed,’ and they say ‘Oh yeah, we just passed it,'” Sherrill said. “I said, ‘Yeah, we just passed it. I need the Senate to pass it and I need the president to sign it,’ and they said ‘Well, we don’t want to give the president a win.'”
That explains why we have to hold the Senate and Whitehouse and win back the house. We are going to need legislation as Trump rebuilds our economy. We need the House in able to get legislation through congress for Trump to sign it.

Sherrill’s comments contrast with Democrats’ longstanding criticism of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) for blocking Democratic initiatives in the Senate. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) unveiled a visual representation of McConnell’s “legislative graveyard” in June, accusing the Kentucky Republican of blocking legislation for political gain.
“Leader McConnell seems to take great pride in calling himself ‘The Grim Reaper.’ It’s part of his political campaign, it’s part of the pride he takes as leader of the Senate,” Pelosi said. “The Senate will certainly be hearing from the public on issues, values really, that have bipartisan support across America.”
According to National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams, Sherrill’s admission contradicts Democrats’ push for bipartisanship in the Republican-held Senate.
“Mikie Sherrill’s comments confirm that House Democrats would rather block President Trump from getting a win than deliver solutions for their constituents,” McAdams said. “Voters deserve better than this partisan hackery.”
