I think you can add James Webb of Va to that list, altho Va was in the process of turning blue.

Sam, I honestly think that is splitting hairs. I don't want to argue what he could or could not have gotten done. That misses the point. The point is, had he done what Biden is doing right now he would have gotten a hell of a lot more done and maybe we would not have lost 1,000 seats across the country and both houses of congress because he could not deliver. Everyone knows that the reason Biden is taking his hard line approach is because of what happened to Obama who would not do that. They said within "minutes" of Biden being sworn in he fired every Trump appointee he could and even those in the gray areas; and Trump had 44 life time judges on the docket and he pulled them all. As mentioned, I have read three books on Obama by Richard Wolff, Chuck Todd and Michael Lewis and they all tell how Obama distanced himself from the Democratic party and tried to go it alone working with the Republicans. Remember, Obama did not alert us to the Russian invasion and asked why, he said:"Mcconnell didn't want to. I think that sets the tone.
