Congressional Democrats have been forcing Republicans to cast tough votes on President Trump — and they’re just getting started.

In recent days, Democrats have triggered votes related to Trump’s tax returns, business relationships and ties to Russia in an effort to cast Republicans as complicit in the secrecy surrounding Trump’s finances.

None of the votes succeeded, but Democrats remain undeterred as they seek to fire up their liberal base ahead of next year’s midterm elections. “I think the Democrats should push hard on this issue and push hard whenever they get a chance,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon.

Bannon, who writes for the Hill’s Contributors blog, noted that there are about two dozen House Republicans whose districts Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the presidential election. “The more times Democrats can get Republican House members on (the) record of supporting Trump — the more the merrier,” he said.

4. We've got to get younger voters to come out and vote in '18.

We didn't lose by much last year (and some would claim we really didn't lose at all).

We can target rust belt voters with a jobs push while still having a progressive platform overall. It IS possible to do both without contridicting ourselves.

Hopefully, the DNC will be more of a help in this than they've been before.

5. Tax returns. Now. There is enough reason to demand this again.

And hey, GOP, it would get the pain and misery out of the way so much faster!
