Your comment is spot on.  The GOP under McConnell and the Freedom Caucus in the House is no longer about governing.  They are nothing but ideological bullies who don't even represent the interests of the majority of their voters, much less their districts. 

I too was unpleasantly surprised by MSW's singling out Planned Parenthood and gay rights groups as the driving forces for the Dems.  I suspect he's swallowed this particular GOP talking point hook line and sinker.  (I'm assuming most people still fish in using that metaphor.) As you point out, that leaves out all the other 'agenda driven' groups the Dems have historically championed.
