The importance of politic optics:

What if all House Democrats return to Washington and said to the American public we are here to do the job you elected us to do. We will NOT let Republicans sacrifice your healthcare so the billionaires get their tax cuts. WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?

I said it on an earlier post and I will say it again:

Democrats don't need to go on offense as much as they need to put Republicans on the defensive.

* Make them try to defend taking away people's healthcare or having their premiums increase dramatically is justified

* Make them defend why Donald Trump is above the law.

* Make them explain why cheating to win elections is acceptable and Democratic.

Since they can't they hideout, no town halls, and probably no debating come election time. They know their backing of the orange tyrant and his reprehensible policy's are indefensible. To bad they don't hold the people's good above their thirst for power.
