 Democrats aim to launch comeback with Cabinet showdown

An opposition strategy for January confirmation hearings strategy is emerging: To expose Trump's campaign platform as a 'scam.'

By Burgess Everett

Senate Democrats are approaching the January confirmation battle over Donald Trump’s Cabinet as a chance to launch their political comeback and expose the president-elect as a fraud.

Lawmakers know they’re unlikely, at best, to stop any of Trump’s Cabinet picks from being installed. But they still see major opportunity in the confirmation hearings. The goal, according to lawmakers and aides: to depict Trump’s chosen inner circle of billionaires and conservative hard-liners as directly at odds with the working-class Americans he vowed to help.

This is the same shtick these clowns have been using since Reagan.

I guess offering and defending serious political alternatives is out of the question.

My goodness, their playbook is older than Knute Rockne's.

Chuckie Schumer is a master at doing this.  Even poor Marco is braying about Tillerson.

Marco needs to come out of the closet and be a Democrat.

They will love him - a young, minority, good speaking, good talking guy who also loves amnesty.
