Senate
Rep. Greg Walden doesn’t want to give the Senate a hard time. He said “they have a very difficult job to do and it’s a different job than we have.”
He continued “it frustrates us in the House. It frustrates a lot of Americans that they don’t seem to be able to come together to get things done, but it’s a different body and it was designed to be a different body.”
Rep. Frank Lucas of Oklahoma said “Mitch McConnell has the toughest job on the planet right now.”
Senate has found themselves between a rock and a hard place. They have found themselves weighing every decision carefully.
Despite the criticism they face they have still moved forward. They haven’t always got it right but they have made some good choices as well.
The hope is that they will not crumble under the pressure from the House. Then there is the continuous pressure from the President.
That in itself has made their job even harder.
Now the Senate faces another issue as Elections come around. They face what has been deemed the anti-Senate strategy.
The intention is to unseat those Senators that are considered a failure to the job they now do.
Time will tell if the Senators will fall to the pressure or come out on top.
