Game Over!
CheckMate! This week the Democratics took another hit to their ability to promote unity and show their base they can play with the big dogs. In other words, they were cornered and checkmated by the GOP. They were backed into the corner of the board with the 2 choices of vote for Trumps budget or block it and shut down the government. Neither move would help the government or engage their base. They were made the GOP bitches. No unity, no discussion of why or why not, not even an acknowledgement of how they got here. As bad as the current situation is, Democrats need to gain both ground in policy and give guidance to the base. Come on, if the next game ends this way, we all lose.
