I’m going to rant for a minute or two. This one matters, especially after the last two years and Tuesday’s blue wave.
Please forward this message to every Democratic leader you know in Congress.
Every single day I’m watching reporters asking how you plan to work with Trump moving forward.
Stop answering that question. Flip it.
“The question that matters is what President Trump will change before this new majority in Congress agrees to work with him.”
That’s your talking point for two reasons.
First, convicted felons and civilly adjudicated sexual abusers don’t get to dictate the rules of engagement.
Second, you hold the leverage and advantage. He needs the cooperation of Congress far more than you need his, and voters just handed you the majority in both the House and the Senate.
He’s a lame duck president, and your new Congress holds an enormous amount of power. Use it and start pushing back. Every single day.
So the next time a reporter asks, say it plainly: If he wants to work with this Congress, he’s the one who needs to change. That one sentence puts you on offense and sets the terms.
It’s time for him to adjust to you. Not the other way around.

absolutely, i keep saying the same thing. Everyone keeps tip toeing around him and his feelings. Screw that, show him the same respect he is showing us!!! I'm sorry but he has lost any and all respect as a leader.
