    There's an old saying "Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way". Gratefully the Democrats are so focused on "Get Trump", they are ignoring the bills advancing in the House and Senate. They COULD participate but appear to be so focused on Trump ignoring of their legislative duties. Even a knucklehead like Murphy realizes that and from what I've seen, I think he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. When Health Care and Tax Reform bills get passed, I just believe they'll scream they didn't have a chance to give their input. Too bad, so sad.

    If this claim that Republicans are working is true, it is the first time in eight years they have started to work.

    Their failures in passing laws so far demosntrates how far they have fallen into incompetence after eight years of a policy of obstruction of Obama. They have forgotten how to create, frame and pass legislation.

    Republicans have evolved into a race of perpetual clowns.

    They aren't working on HC. The tax breaks for the wealthy automatically eliminate HC.

    FAKE NEWS: “The common element in nearly all the major New York Times and Washington Post stories about President Donald Trump this week is that they are based on source documents the outlets cannot authenticate, do not possess, admit are partial, and refuse to share.”

    The press is stupid.

    "Journalists' brains show a lower-than-average level of executive functioning, according to a new study, which means they have a below-average ability to regulate their emotions, suppress biases, solve complex problems, switch between tasks, and show creative and flexible thinking," Lindsay Dodgson of Business Insider reported on May 19.

    "The study, led by Tara Swart, a neuroscientist and leadership coach, analyzed 40 journalists from newspapers, magazines, broadcast, and online platforms over seven months. The participants took part in tests related to their lifestyle, health, and behavior."

    "Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study."

    You are being led by the Press, they are out of their minds and that is why it is all so confusing for you. They are the ones that told you Hillary was probably gong to win by a landslide and yet she lost. It was never the truth. Trump was giving her a run for her money the whole time, she was taking important days off when she should have been sober and campaigning. What they were telling you then, was no more true than what they are telling you now.

    The Post headline said, "Notes made by former FBI Director Comey say Trump pressured him to end Flynn probe."

    The CNN headline said, "The James Comey memo is an existential threat to Donald Trump's presidency."

    The Bloomberg headline said, "Trump Should Worry: Comey Memo Describes a High Crime."

    Not one of them had seen the memo, and yet everyone was an expert on the "memo" and racing to debate whether this would result in Trump's impeachment. Step back just a little, can you not see that you are under delusion and that this is insane?

    You just got shocked by a recent delusion, that Hillary was a shoe in and likely to win by a landslide.

    A 2/1 electoral trouncing was on tap, complete with maps that looked like this:

    http://www.270towin.com/maps/zVJDL

    With Hillary walking away with a 358 to 180 ECV victory. Instead you lost 232-306. The claims were never true, you were never in anything other than a neck and neck race. Just like right now, Trump is not on the verge of resigning or being impeached. You guys are not on the cusp of wiping out the GOP in 2018. It's all a delusion, mass insanity by those that cannot accept that the real world is operating without regard to your mass-fallacy.

    Get WOKE!

    Just remember, it's temporary. The Repubs will be out in a few years and then the Dems can shove it to them. Then the repubs can do it again when they get back in and so forth.

    Watch more than just CNN and you'd know they are working on both, even Murphy knows that.

    Last I heard, they hadn't even sent the Health Care bill the House passed to the Senate because they're worried the CBO report is going to be so bad that it will be dead on arrival.

    Not sure that qualfies as "working" on health care.

    I generally agree with that, but only if they use their out of power season to reflect, regroup and tailor their appeal to the electorate. I don't see Democrats doing that, I see them laboring under the delusion that they still hold power. And to some extent, seem to be bluffing the Congress into believing it too. Part of it, I think is that the Left really believes in this "arc of history bending their way" crap. They don't believe or accept the setbacks, so they are not adapting to fact the country is rejecting their vision and that their approach is not working for the middle and working class.

    There is tal
    There is talk that the CBO report is so damaging, that Ryan may have to rework it and have another vote in the House before it even goes to the senate.

    The main problem is that both parties are controlled by old senile people who should have been kicked to the curb decades ago. On top of that they are just plain crooks.

    Yet they keep replacing Democrats. Carry on the name calling. It'll make it that much easier to maintain and gain more seats in 2018.

    Wow. That was an intelligent rebuttal. :roll:

    You're going to have a long 8 years. Better see a psychiatrist and get some good meds. You're going to need them.

    Thanks for sharing your treatment with us. But, it didn't help you.

    I'm not the one acting like an immature angry protester. Hold up mirror. Look into it.

    8 years? With the way your political party is "performing" and with your orange president's approval ratings in the gutter (even in heavily biased right wing polls like Rasmussen), I think your political parties "current power" may last 4 years at the most, and that's assuming your president even finishes his first term.

    One of the last manufacturing industries [Defense] left in the US just got a YUGE shot in the wallet and will help stimulate the economy and good paying jobs. If Trump and the Republicans get the economy rolling again after 8 years of stagnant malaise, there will be few Democrats left.

    Give them time. It's only been 120 days. It took three years to put together the 1986 tax reform.

    Democrats are more concerned about ruining the country and bringing down the elected government than actually doing anything to move the country forward. After getting caught cheating in the elections, voter fraud, rigging primaries and colluding with MSM to steal the election and power from the people, they are still not over their humiliating defeat. All they want to do is seize power and return America to extreme form of corruption. From Lynch to Clinton to illegal wiretapping, Democrats are doing everything they can destroy anyone who tries to return the government to the people and bring about prosperity.
