Profiles in courage on the Democratic side of the House.

Especially amongst those young Democrats that had won in previously Trump districts. They put their jobs on the line for what they believe is in the best interest of this country. It was a very courageous act by all of them.

Unfortunately, we have not yet seen that type of courage on the Republican side of the House. There are many districts where the Republican incumbents are much stronger, yet they refuse to take a stand. Perhaps it is because they think Donald Trump is a great president and he has done nothing wrong? Or perhaps it is because they are fearful of losing their positions, by tweets from Trump, or a primary challenger?

Whatever the reason, the profiles in courage are on the Democratic side.
