Democrats’ rulebook resistance to Trump fails to capture the imagination
Democrats’ reliance on a series of procedural challenges to President Donald Trump’s early reforms has so far failed to inspire the type of movement that characterized their party during the first Trump presidency.
In fact, their strategy may be backfiring.
Four months after Trump led Republicans to win unified control of government, Democrats are still sifting through the wreckage for clues as to why they lost and how they might start to rebuild.
Their approach so far has involved filing lawsuits to stop Trump’s executive orders and focusing on the bureaucratic rules they say he’s breaking.
“They don’t have a positive message,” University of Chicago political science professor emeritus Charles Lipson told the Washington Examiner. “They don’t have an effective messenger. And their normal channels of communication, the mainstream media, are ebbing in influence. So all they have left is frustration and friendly courts in blue states, and that’s what they’re relying on.”
