Dems warn their Trump obsession will hurt party



WASHINGTON

Top Democratic leaders gathered Tuesday to deliver a stark warning: Their party needs to do more than just talk about President Donald Trump.

Judging by their own words at the first major party cattlecall of 2017, that’s no easy task.

A day after a report that the president revealed highly sensitive intelligence from a U.S. ally to Russian leaders, a litany of top Democratic officials and possible 2020 presidential candidates tried to find a balance between denouncing the latest Trump controversy and making time to explain their own vision and agenda. They had assembled in Washington at the "Ideas Conference" hosted by the liberal think-tank Center for American Progress, an event designed to give the leaders a chance to explain how they would rebuild the party.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, long seen as a potential presidential contender, said the Senate should not approve of a new FBI director until a special prosecutor is appointed to investigate ties between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials, even as she laid out plans for a federally mandated 12 weeks of paid family leave.

Progressive icon Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called for a Constitutional Amendment that would restrict the influence of money on politics, even as she warned Trump that America would stand up to "autocracy."

Leaderless Dems Begin to Worry That Endless Attacks on Trump Will Backfire


What's more, Trump, who's never held a single political office, won on the strength of his platform: America first, more jobs, tighter borders, better trade deals. His ideas resonated far more than Hillary's, which revolved mostly around the fact that she wasn't Trump.

Ever since, Democrats -- clearly furious that they lost -- have bashed Trump at every turn. Sure, Trump is helping them -- a lot -- but Democrats who once complained that Republicans were "the party of 'no' are turning into exactly that.

There is no leader in the Democratic Party right now -- not Hillary, not Barack Obama, not Sen. Bernie Sanders -- and the party's agenda seems at this point to be nothing more than to obstruct Trump at every turn. They're offering no fresh ideas, no change from their past philosophies -- which not only lost them the White House in 2016 but also more than 1,000 legislative seats since Obama took office in 2009.

Now, some Democratic leaders are beginning to worry that an agenda to thwart Trump won't turn into more seats in 2018 -- or the White House in 2020.
