OK, smart people at DU - what are your thoughts on how this will all play out? I am at a loss..

27. The CBO report will say over 20 million will lose healthcare. This is what SHOULD happen:

Democrat lawmakers need to make the case that Republicans are happy to see Americans die to fund their billionaire tax cuts. They need to make the moral case that Trump has betrayed his promises to poor and middle income families, and remind the public that Democrats are the party of the many and not the few.

They need to keep hammering away at the Russian ties. Remember there were more than twice the congressional staff investigating Benghazi than are investigating Russia collusion. They need to fight with as much vigor as Republicans and drive his poll numbers down. They need to repeat at every opportunity, Trump's lies and broken promises and his betrayal of the American people.

They need to be focused on hitting him hard, in the same way that he manipulates the media. They need to control the narrative. Once his poll number hit a certain level, and his mindset and behavior become even more irrational, enough Republican lawmakers will turn against him to save their own skins in 2018. At some point, a delegation or an open letter from sufficient Republicans will ask him to stand down, and then it will be over for him.
