Nah we dont need the donks .  We are just giving them all of this unnecessary by our own infighting.

Obviously as the events are unfolding before us, the DEMS never have lost their power.  We have RINO's who continue to side with them and now a President who is also siding with them.  IMHO, him going after the Freedom Caucus speaks volumes.

IF Trump and the GOP FAIL to get Gorsuch through, it will clearly define the power that the DEMS still have.
