Summary
House Democrats are frustrated with progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible, which are pressuring them to oppose the Trump administration more aggressively.
In a closed-door meeting, lawmakers complained about grassroots activists driving constituent calls demanding obstructionist tactics.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended the party’s strategy, saying, “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.”
However, a CBS News/YouGov poll shows 65% of Democratic voters want all-out opposition to Trump’s agenda.
Schumer and his ilk should be run out of town on a rail.
They’re too old, too milquetoast, and too entrenched in the status quo to be effective to today’s needs.
Their time is up, hook’m off the stage.
