"If you want your legislation to pass, your leader must be thoroughly familiar with the content, so that s/he can be an effective advocate"
Oh come 'on. Be realistic. Do you think Obama was "thoroughly" familiar with the 1200 page ACA? He was about as familiar as House leader “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it", Nancy Pelosi.
There is definitely a divide within the ranks of the Republican party. It is a perfect time for Dems to step up and show Americans what plans they have for the country. But their only effort is to dismantle Trump and never ending Russia hysteria. They are failing as much as the Republicans at this point.
