Don't Democrats in Congress Have Anything Better to Do? [View all]

We need to remember that the majority of American voters care about:
1. Their jobs
2. Paying their bills
3. Government doing its job
4. Affordable Healthcare and prescriptions
5. Good schools
6. Paying for college
7. Infrastructure

Most voters don't care about Bob Mueller or Bill Barr.

There was a Big Blue Wave last November because Democrats in Congress promised action on 1 - 7 above.

Sure, everybody wants accountability but if Democrats forget to take care of these "kitchen table" issues then they'll lose in 2020.

Maybe it's time to focus on issues that affect the everyday lives of Americans. Let Trump dig his own holes that he can bury himself in.
