Repubs don't have a fillibuster proof majority, and President Obama has the veto pen.

Make no mistake about it, any shitty legislation actually getting signed in to law in the next 2 years will be 100% the fault of Democrats. Period. End of Sentence.

Raimondo began her early career as a law clerk for U.S. Federal Judge Kimba Wood for the southern district of New York. Later, Raimondo acted as Senior Vice President for Fund Development at the Manhattan offices of Village Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and backed by Bain Capital and Highland Capital Groups.[10] [11] Raimondo would later return to Rhode Island in 2000 to co-found the state's first venture capital firm, Point Judith Capital. Point Judith would subsequently relocate its offices to Boston, Massachusetts.[12] At Point Judith, Raimondo would serve as a general partner covering health care investments; she retains some executive duties with the firm.
