On the 5 November 2014 edition of Anderson Cooper 360, CNN's Dana Bash pointed the finger at Senator Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans for the "dysfunction" in the federal government. Bash asserted that "Democrats probably rightly have a complaint that the reason the Senate isn't working is because Mitch McConnell and the opposition made it so."
Moments earlier, the correspondent forwarded a liberal talking point about the GOP's midterms victories – that "this is going to be a true test for Republicans on whether they can get beyond just winning in politics, and get to doing well governing."
