The Democrats assume that any legislation they propose cannot make past the bullies who control every facet of our government, but I would like to see them try, as opposed to just reacting to republican policies and actions.  For some strange reason, the Trump has the ability to lure others into that paradigm.  It's why Hillary lost the election.  Instead of reacting to the Trump's every crudeness, she should have been proferring her vision for the country.  In other words, she should have ignored him.  Today, America seems to exist so that the Trump can make outlandish statements, and everyone else either regurgitates them or reacts in abject opposition.  And so we argue, as nothing gets accomplished.
