BREAKING : The End of “The Resistance” Democrats Have NO Power in D.C.
Breaking News
February 3, 2017
Democrats are trying to flex what little muscle they can by boycotting confirmation hearings, refusing to work on Obamacare and chattering about a SCOTUS filibuster.
However, “The Resistance” is futile.
Democrats can throw whatever they like at President Trump, the truth of the matter is they have virtually zero power in Washington.
From CNN
Democrats are spending the opening weeks of the Trump administration trying to flex their muscle any way they can — boycotting confirmation hearings, refusing to work with Republicans on Obamacare and pondering a filibuster of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick.
But as Democrats throw every procedural hurdle they can think of at Trump, they’re facing a bleak reality: they have virtually no power in Washington.The party has no clear successor to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton who can speak with one voice for the party. And there is no consensus yet on a strategy to thwart Trump’s legislative agenda — or even how to prioritize the issues they plan to challenge him on.There’s one thing giving them comfort: Trump himself. The President’s initial actions in office have been so breathtaking in their scope and breadth that frustrated Democrats say their base is galvanized in ways they haven’t seen in a long time. That could make it easier for Democratic groups to gear up for a more forceful effort to sway the balance of power in 2018 and 2020.Hilary Rosen, a Democratic strategist and CNN contributor, said there was lull after the November election, in part because many Democrats were legitimately shocked at Trump’s win. At that time, Democratic congressional leaders were still debating whether it was more advantageous to try to work with the President on some areas, rather than to risk appearing obstructionist by trying to block him at every turn.But they were emboldened, Rosen said, not only by their early success in stalling Trump’s vow to immediately repeal Obama’s health care law, but also by the unexpected energy of the crowds at womens’ marches last month and the protests against the immigration ban around the country.“It underscored that there was a large community of dissenters out there — it came from the ground up and the leadership sort of jumped on top of it,” Rosen said.The final straw, she said, was Trump’s hastily announced travel ban, which was criticized as a religious test.“It cemented the left’s view that we are not going to work with this guy — the idea that this is not going to be someone we can appease; who we can compromise with. The base won’t allow it,” Rosen said. “I think what we’ve seen is the left and the center left kind of merge. … There’s not going to be any tolerance for the middle ground.”

They should give everyone in Congress Drug Tests. All the Climate change loons should have to SEC disclose if they have any Stocks in the Green Industry Obama created.
Absolutely agree 1000%
I agree on the drug testing 100%…and, haven’t heard the idea on rooting out and ‘draining the swamp’ concerning abstructionists who would want to disparage Trump goal of stepping away from Climate Change leadership and support. All the Climate change advocates having to SEC disclose if they have any stocks in the green industry is a great idea!!
All these liberal militants are going to fizzle out once they get the Obama stink off of them after a year or so living in better America.
Shut the fuck up libtards.
These Liberal democrats from the day President Trump won, showed their true colors! Them now saying they won’t work with President Trump because of his ban is just a bigger lie!!! They have NEVER intended on working with our President, ever!! TERM LIMITS Will end their childish ways, but in 2018, I can forsee 5 or more republican seats gained!! All because their blatant dishonesty!!
The libtards are finished in 2018. It’ll be 30 years before these bastards get back into a leadership roll in government. They really shit in their nest.
These bastards have never figured out that you don’t shit where you eat. Also, I think it’ll be 100 years before these pathetic butthurt losers will ever have one ounce of power. “Not even a smidgen”…
Do these people really live in the denial of the reality of what the election handed them? Clueless isn’t even beginning to describe their situation. Going more hard left leaning is nuts.
Star, these people are mentally ill. They’re different than we are. They have absolutely zero common sense. They don’t have the capacity to use reason and logic. They have wires in their brains that are touching that shouldn’t be touching!! When I have to talk to a libtard, I have to remind myself that I’m really talking to a mentally ill retard that wasn’t born with real brainpower.
Say There…Bill…If You Work For CNN…You’re Not A Journalist …You’re A Fabricator…
Look…If You Go To Lunch… With The Bill Down Below…Would You Bring Me Some Carryout?
There does need to be some opposition
checks and balances checks and balances
Yeah, reasonable opposition. Not this mentally ill oppo.
That’s not checks and balances!! Checks and balances are referring to the 3 branches of Govt. The system is set up to keep 1 branch from becoming to powerful by giving each certain powers over the other 2.
reminds me of the theme song of the Perry Como show ” Dream along with me”
Ahhhhhhhh, so sad billybob. I’m playing a teeensy tiiiiny violin for your butthurt butt. You are so pathetic. We won, and that makes you a bigly loser. Suck it up, buttercup snowflake.
. Rots o ruck with that, BROTHER!!! Gawd, my sides are splitting, I can’t stop lolololololololololol at you pathetic losers!!! OH MUH GAWD,,?
If those democrats had some sense they would let Trump confirm his entire cabinet and let America decide if they are reaping the rewards of the change. Time will tell, and time will out.
