What we have here is a failure to communicate. But for once, this failure is not on the part of Democrats. In fact, Democrats are hammering Senate Republicans for not doing their jobs when it comes to confirming President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.
The Democratic Policy and Communications Center rounded up editorials from around the country that all tell Republicans to stop obstructing. Their message: “American People to GOP: Do Your Job”.
To wit, per the DPCC on behalf of Senate Democrats:

WASHINGTON D.C. – Editorials and news coverage in local newspapers across America are reflecting the increased build up in public pressure on Senate Republicans refusing to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. Reports of constituent frustration with the unprecedented obstructionism of the GOP are widespread and are turning up the heat on Republicans for bowing to the most extreme, right-wing voices. Editorial Boards echo this dissatisfaction and blast Republicans for ignoring the Constitution and failing to do their job. Some Republicans have publicly distanced themselves from their party’s position.

This is the right message for Democrats to hammer Republicans with. Democrats pivoted from the “constitutional crisis” message they first started on to this more simple message that resonates with every American who works for a living.
We all have to do our jobs and we pay Senate Republicans to sit around refusing to do theirs because they’re angry that the voters put President Obama in office.
Senate Republicans need to get to work and hear the message voters are sending them. But when it comes to the people and Republicans, there is often a failure to communicate. Senate Republicans are behaving like spoiled children, waiting for Donald Trump to get into the White House before they’ll actually show up to do the job they are paid to do and the job they are mandated by the Constitution to do. Their excuses for not showing up to work are so absurd there is no use even rebutting them.
Republicans have a job they are paid to do. The country wants them to stop whining and start working.
