A lot of progressive Democrats want younger, more liberal leaders in Congress. I say let’s give the geezers a chance. I’d like more young, liberal members of Congress, but I want wily, experienced people in leadership.
Case in point: Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi just yanked Trump’s chain by canceling a meeting with him in response to a presidential tweet. Trump, prompted by lord knows what he heard on TV, tweeted that he didn’t see a path to a deal with the Democrats, so they said fine, we’ll deal with the Republicans in Congress.
The dagger is in the suggestion that they might find a deal with the GOP, without Trump’s input. Knowing Trump’s propensity for lashing out, they’re trying to goad him into a fight with McConnell. Let’s see if it works.
