I keep getting emails from progressive groups that say things like-

"We're PANICKED!" "We're LOSING!"

What needs to be said is "We're RESOLUTE. We will RESIST until our last breath. We will NEVER SURRENDER."

Just my humble opinion.

No compromise. No working together. Don't give in and for once, show Republicans that we mean business.

It would be nice if we had a Tip O'Neill or LBJ type to really provide a model for how this needs to be done.

No offense, but our party has forgotten how to stand up to bullies.
