That's a TERRIBLE comparison.

A more apt comparison would be to say look at the all the idiotic Republicans who REFUSED to fund the wall when they had full control of both houses of Congress when it was quite clear that Trump was elected by the will of the people wanting that wall.

And look at what it cost those Republicans. The House.

I wish we had a mechanism to dissolve Congress when they didn't follow the will of the people.
