I think our Democratic leaders have him outsmarted at every turn, even without the current majority in congress. Seeing what they've accomplished so far is impressive, especially when looked at from the perspective of legislating power.

We had a really strong message in '16, and need to work harder at getting that same message out to as many people as possible. Chuck/Nancy should continue fighting for our similar common values, our party and global community. I for one am ready to stand on the rooftops and shout it out loud.

I could too, since I frequently engage in roofing ..including the tower cranes during construction
