It might help it if her and Schumer stop acting like they actually have any power. After the cabinet is approved, their spotlight will be turned into a flashlight.
There are so many ideas and bills on the back burners of Repubs. Things that could never get any traction with Harry Reid there. This is well timed, Trump's election, as we may finally see many of it.
The Dems will continue to nit pick, the MSM will keep the drum beat, but Trump will be successful , as will America.

"While many in the party were encouraged by the massive turnout for the Women's March Saturday, which was bigger than the crowd that showed up for Trump's inauguration the day before, Democrats have no clear leader and no unified policy direction. Democrats suffered a stunning defeat in November, capping off a disastrous string of defeats during the Obama years. Democrats have lost more than 1,000 state legislative seats in that time, dozens of congressional and governors seats — and are at the lowest point of their power than at any time in the last century.
In this post-mortem moment, Democrats can't even agree on why the party lost."
"We were stressing the wrong messages. 'Stronger Together' — that's real nice. Let's sit around and sing, 'Kumbaya,' but that really doesn't get anyone a job, does it? The people here thought — wrongly — the national Democratic Party cared more about where someone went to the bathroom than whether or not these people had a job. And so, we're off-message."
"I don't care if it was a bad deal (Carrier). He was fighting for someone's job. That's what we used to do, right?"
- David Betras, chairman of the Mahoning County (Ohio) Democratic Party
"There's no one around this area who believes for two seconds that the steel mills are coming back, because we all watched them flatten. ... They're gone, but what they see is the rich getting richer and no opportunity for them to go to work."
"If we don't start talking about the things that we can do to make it better for all working-class voters, we're bankrupt as a party. I mean, I don't think you have to abandon identity politics, but, at the same token, you have to talk to the issues that motivate the traditional Democratic base, because it's been decades where they feel as if they've been ignored."
- Leo Jennings III, a 61-year-old Democratic consultant and former union organizer
"I want to guard against the Democratic Party, because they feel that they lost because white men and white women did not vote for Democrats. I want to make sure that we do not abandon minority demographics to go and pander back to white Americans."
- Chinemerem Onyeukwu, Ohio Young Black Democrats
"We're talking about identity politics as if the only people who have an identity are people of color when we know that white men ... that's an identity too. That's who came out and voted for Donald Trump. The lack of diversity in the Democratic Party means that we aren't meaningfully able to engage in the conversations on the ground that actually get people to care about voting. People of color are the base of the Democratic Party; it is our home. The difference, though, is — we're not allowed to make any decisions there."

I remember when all the experts told us that the demographics made it impossible for Trump to win. The blacks, hispanics and women would deliver the Dems.
How did that work out?

Is this the same WaPo that reported “Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont? Or the same WaPo that got trashed for publishing a "black list" of 200 reputable sites supposedly spreading Russia propaganda based on information from an organization nobody ever heard of, PropOrNot?
It must be true then.

Mexico getting second thoughts already?
Thu Jan 26, 2017 | 12:14 PM EST
Mexico says cancelling Trump summit would fuel uncertainty
"A possible cancellation of a meeting planned next week between Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump would fuel uncertainty, Mexican Finance Minister Jose Antonio Meade said on Thursday.
"That's correct," Meade said on Mexican radio when asked if a cancellation of the meeting would fuel uncertainty."
http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN15A1Z8
Sounds like the Mexican president's ego is as big as Trump's. By the size of him he could have "Little Man Syndrome".
Maybe the Mexicans don't want to build a fence on our border because they've got the expense of the one they will build on their southern border.

BTW Did you know that Mexico ranks as the most corrupt country in the western world? And we should care what the Mexicans think of Trump because???

Bwahahaha! Carlos Slim gets involved.
Trump's strategy, according to Slim, is to shock and provoke. But in the end, Slim said, Trump's "not a terminator, he's a negotiator." The businessman believes Trump is attempting to transform the United States, and says this could be an opportunity for Mexico, its economy and its workers.

Maher must be talking about the TeeHeeMan!
"“Democrats have gone from the party that protects people to the party that protects feelings. From, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you,’ to, ‘You owe me an apology.'”
“There’s a lot of reasons for that. But the one we can immediately fix is that too often Democrats remind people of a man who has taken his balls out and put them in his wife’s purse.”
“What matters is that while liberals were in a contest to see who could be the first to call out fat-shaming, the Tea Party has been busy taking over school boards."
Bwahahaha!
