"Democrats lost their nerve"

This WashPost article claims Congressional Democrats -- specifically Schumer and Pelosi -- lost their nerve in the face of Republican attacks because of Chuck and Nancy's stance on Dreamers. According to the Post, Chuck and Nancy are concerned that their base will lose our energy before November and the best way to keep us energized is to cave to Republican lies.

Is this bullshit or what?

I've said it before and will say it again: We Democrats are an army of lions being led by rabbits. Cowardly rabbits at that.

I'm active in Virginia Democratic politics, Progressive politics, and a big regional Indivisible group. Every Democrat with whom I have any contact is fired up, ready to roll -- and 100% behind a permanent DACA act. We are ready to elect Democrats in November 2018 and beyond, no matter what it takes.

Too bad our "leaders" don't share our fire and dedication.
