This don't fight back strategy started in 2000 with letting Bush steal the 2000 election and it's been downhill ever since. The dem Senate leadership was clueless to the threat that the Bush 2000 election theft posed to our country and they're still just as clueless about the threat that Trump now poses. They keep bringing slingshots to the fight while the repugs are bringing AK-47s. It's long past due for this failed Senate dem don't fight back strategy to end.
