Outrage Could Become Obstacle for Democrats

“Growing liberal agitation over a pivotal Supreme Court retirement and a simmering crisis about immigrant child separation have left Democratic leaders scrambling to keep the political outrage they’d counted on to fuel midterm election wins from becoming a liability for the party,” the Washington Post reports.

“Internal party debates have broken into public view over maintaining civility and the usefulness of liberal slogans like ‘abolish ICE,’ which some Republicans have embraced to argue falsely that Democrats oppose immigration enforcement. At the same time, liberal activists have begun to argue for more radical measures to counter President Trump, who they assert presents an immediate threat to the republic.”
