Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, widely considered a frontrunner to be the next Democratic National Committee chair, says House Democrats will do nothing but “vote no” in the coming years under the new Trump administration.

Ellison, who has faced questions over whether he can juggle both working in Congress and rebuilding a depleted Democratic Party, defended himself at a party meeting on Friday by suggesting that working as a Democratic congressman won’t require much effort.

At least they won’t be obstructionists like the GOP under Obama. /S

That would make them the “Part of Yes”, according to liberal logic then, right?

And cry. I’m sure cry-baby Ellison will find plenty of reasons to cry about how Trump is treating Muslims over the next 4 years.

But I thought Congressional gridlock was a bad thing?

Keith, buddy, here's a clue: the leader of the Dems in the House is called the House Minority Leader. The term doesn't refer to race.

Let em, unlike ObamaCare, the laws being pushed through under Trump will largely be things the folks want.. so let em vote no... every single time... NO faster way to a super majority than for the communists to finally drop all pretense that they are anything but.

I noticed last week that the dem party was grooming this America-hater for a run for the presidency. 2020. The last muzzy-loving America-hater was defeated in 2016.

You might find that your constituents will not be happy...and that’s why you have lost how many seats??? since Obama took office.

Yep, it’s all about you, isn’t it. Never mind that the American people have endured Obozo for 8 years and we are in worse shape than when he took office. It’s amazing that you are dumb enough to see your job as opposing everything, even before anything has been suggested. Yep, that’s a sure indication of a deep thinker...you f’ing idiot!

So he admits to being lazy and worthless? Kind of a stereotype, isn’t it?

“House Democrats will do nothing but “vote no” in the coming years under the new Trump administration.”

Yes, that is the plan. And Trump will point and laugh at them for voting no for things that in the interest of average Americans.
