Too often Democrats say "we will do great things, IF the Republicans let us," and then in retrospect "we would have done great things, but Republicans..."

That is like a roofer saying "the roof I installed would be great - if not for the rain..." Stopping the rain from coming into the house is the roofers job. Stopping the Republicans is ours. No "ifs..." and certainly not ifs that depend upon what they do or say.
