Well, maybe my memory's bad, but it seemed to me that when the Dems ruled the roost, they were every bit as sneaky and underhanded as the GOPers are today. IMO that's why they lost control, and that's why the GOPers will also lose control, eventually.
You missed the point, which was that the Democrats, when they had the majority in the Senate, didn't tack "onto 'must pass' bills other provisions that may not pass on their merits alone" nearly as much as the GOP has with its GOP majority.

I was hoping a GOP stakeholder might actually do the legwork to prove the assertion wrong so I could learn something. Vague rants like these don't develop the argument one bit.
