You’re losing Congressional Democrats’ “protest” during Donald Trump’s marathon speech had all the impact of a Demotivational poster. That’s leadership from Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. Punchbowl News: Earlier on Thursday, Jeffries and party leaders brought in some of the most vocal rank-and-file Democrats – including Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) – to berate them for their recent behavior. The members-only meeting was called by Jeffries, we’re told. Tuesday’s debacle, as well as the ongoing clashes between progressives and moderates inside the House Democratic Caucus, isn’t Jeffries’ fault, of course. But it is his problem. And it shows little sign of cooling off right now. That may be because Frost and Crockett didn’t come to D.C. to be punching bags. They came to fight, just what the Democratic base demands. Jeffries and Schumer came to get along. Their idea of defending constituents is holding a press conference. Holding up signs on sticks and wearing pink shirts isn’t much better. But the exciting Jeffries is doing “Good Morning America” and podcasts! Meantime, Chuck Schumer has plans: “We have our strategy. It’s not just a message. It’s things that really appeal to the American people,” Schumer said. “It unifies our caucus completely. Bernie Sanders is happy with it. [John] Fetterman is happy with it. So we’re all united on that. And it’s very good for our activists.” Activists will be the judge of that. @rebmasel ?????????????? ♬ original sound – reb for the rebrand * * * * * Have you fought the coup today?Choose DemocracyIndivisible: A Guide to…
