Democratic message discipline is a thing to beholdWashington Examiner, Jun 22, 2017, Becket Adams
When it comes to message discipline, the Republican Party can't hold a candle to the Democratic Party.
Democratic lawmakers and their allies are remarkably adept at presenting a united front. Dissent is practically a foreign word. The GOP, in contrast, is home to several lawmakers who thrive on opposing their own party leaders. Public squabbling is the norm for Republicans, not the exception.
On Thursday, the Democrats' ability to stay on message was on full display as they locked shields against the new GOP healthcare bill.
For the opposition party and its allies, the Senate bill is actually worse than the House's version, which President Trump himself characterized earlier as "mean." So, in pushing back on the new healthcare bill, Democrats made the conscious decision Thursday to use the president's own words against him and the GOP, with a few tweaks here and there.
