Is it too much to expect from Democratic party politicians to start figuring this out and move with the resistance?

Blocking Homeland security funding is a start. Let's get bold, take a few risks and see if we can't move toward getting Trump out soon.

march on the White Housed. Be loud…make a scene, and demand his removal. If they get arrested then so be it. We all need some real leadership and I think that would be a good beginning.

Do whatever they need to win elections.

Not sure why you still think Republicans can be convinced to change.

This is also why it's important to call Republicans in office.
