Is it time for Pelosi

To just come out and say Donald is a tool for Putin after his remarks about Democrats being treasonous traitors? Never has a president ever said something like this ever! Time for the Democrats to just take off the gloves!

...so I guess Trump wins.

That's not enough. Leadership has to come out and accuse him of being a Russian agent working to undermine the country. Thanx to Trump, political decorum is officially dead. 1776-2018.

A few of them have been shamed into changing their tune.

Paul Ryan has to respond to his president's disrespectful comments to a body that refers to each other as "my friend across the aisle" or the "gentleman/gentlewoman." Even Pence would be better, and I never thought I'd say that.

Trumps tweet about Rep. Schiff this morning was absolutely horrible. Democrats need to get some intestinal fortitude and start pushing back relentlessly hard.

I was hoping to see a Democrat any Democrat calling out trump for his tweet. He should have not been allowed to accuse Rep. Schiff of “leaving meeting early to go leak information” without someone asking calling him on it demanding proof for such an accusation.

Cancer at any time is terrible and McCain has voted for many Republican things that are bad, but he's one Republican with gravitas that I think would take a strong stand now and his absence is felt.

When that piece of shit uttered the treason words in his speech against Dems the cameras should have cut away and say his fucking comment is ridiculous. The fucking
Piece of shit deserves no respect. The press is helping him and the ducking republicans destroy democracy right before our eyes. I wonder when people are going to put a stop to it.

I think the problem with the Democrats back in 2016, is that they didn't take off the gloves. They played nice. Rather then take the hits about Clinton's emails she should have said "I'll talk about my emails when Donald Trump explains (insert x) situation". That would have really helped.
