Correct.

The GOP at the federal level is a sham.

Democrats are hypocritical ?

Color me shocked.

She's smarter than virtually all other Rats in the Senate.  She understands clearly that the Democrats will not always have a majority, and the Republicans will punish the Dems when they get back in power when they pull this sort of crap.  It's how the world works, and not even Harry Reid understood this simple, and blindingly obvious fact.
