But he's just one guy, it doesn't make sense that he can hold the nation hostage.

Oh, wait, he's the majority leader of the House. So the reason he can do what he's doing is because 240 other Reps are members of the same party. So it's really 241 guys holding the nation hostage.

Now, how did 241 guys end up in a position to hold the nation hostage? Oh, that's right, they were elected and put there by their constituents.

Scapegoating isn't productive.
