The emerging Trump administration is a frightening mixture of free-market fundamentalists and C-list conspiracy theorists. This motley crew may well run headlong into political disaster. But Democrats should not assume that the Trump administration's incompetence will automatically result in a Democratic wave in 2018. Remember, Democrats are in their weakest position in national and state government since before the Great Depression.
So what should Democrats do? Take a page from the GOP playbook and obstruct everything.

"The future of democracy, and of the planet, depends on Democrats digging in their heels and fighting dirty."
The Democrats have "fought dirty" for as long as I can remember.
I can't think of anyone who thinks the Democrats won't continue to fight dirty.
But the article is a good example of what the media has been reduced to.
Good good let the stupid flow thru you Democrats. And then see what happens to the Democrat Senators who got elected on 0’s coat tails in 2012 when they have to stand for reelection in Trump states in 2018 all alone.
Fighting dirty is the only way they can win. Telling the electorate the truth about who they are means annihilation at the polls.

Executive summary: a nobody.
Kill the filibuster for good. It is not in the Constitution, it is merely a self imposed debating rule.
Please do boys. It might be fun having a filibuster-proof Republican majority after the 2018 midterms.
“It’s time for Democrats to fight dirty “
That’s the only way they know how to fight.
I feel dumber for even reading the first paragraph.
The Dems make rope-a-dope so easy.
Isn’t that the only way Democrats fight?
Protests with looting, destruction of property, and beating up people who don’t agree with you, fake news, false complaint and reportss, getting the MSM to lie and cover for you repeatedly, publishing false statistics and reports, trying to strip constitutional rights repeatedly....This isn’t dirty? You’ve been doing it for 8 years already. Give it a break. We’re tired of you and your games. You are going to be dealt with and held accountable now. We will know your names. Actually we already do know a lot of who you are now. Stop or there may be midnight visits...
Hey libs. You think you are so smart...show us your IDEAS not emotions
Pray tell when they have ever not done so???
Are they not fighting dirty right now in Wisconsin, Michigan, and PA?
They were just too damn sure she had won before it was over.
We need some changes.
Two days of voting...Monday, Tuesday and even Wednesday with "0" numbers revealed....and no early voting.
When you register, you must have proof of citizenship. It's called a birth certificate and everyone has one.
Because they're now issued at birth (I think) the system will clean itself up in about 20 years. So it will then turn into a forgery business.
Those scoundrels have been “fighting dirty” for as long as I remember. They are some commie ‘RAT bastards. That’s why Americans are sick of them.
They can take the gop’s playbook. Trump’s playbook will be more successful.
They’ve been fighting dirty since the ink dried on Alinsky’s manuscript in 1972.
