In their first couple of months dominating Congress, the Republicans have passed no major legislation; taken largely negative positions; and may be about to impede the operation of a crucial government department. This is exactly where McConnell and other national leaders did not want their party to be.
在主宰国会的最初几个月中，共和党没有通过任何重大立法；他们基本上采取了消极立场；并且有可能导致一个关键性政府部门无法运转。这绝不是麦康奈尔或其他任何国家领导人希望他们的政党做的。
