We could probably never outdo them as far as sheer deviousness.

It'd be nice if we didn't have to.

But we have to.

The stakes are too high.

Already they are caving in a way. EVERY democrat should be voting against EVERYTHING Trump and the repubs put forward. The only principled strategy is to oppose trump and the repubs at every turn. OPPOSE EVERYTHING. anything else legitimizes him and them. remember these are the ones who refused to give obama his supreme court nomination, a clear dereliction of their constitutional duty.
