While Trump and his cronies are dominating the news, Democrats are controlling the conversation. We will be bombarded daily with stories about non-disclosure agreements, guilty pleas, indictments, charitable foundation fraud, security clearance abuses, money laundering, asset inflation, grade inflation, Wikileaks, Russia, the Moscow Tower, and kowtowing to autocrats. While these issues and more take their course both in Washington and New York City, the Democratic Party is having a vigorous debate about where it wants the country to go.
Whether you agree with all of its proposals or not, the Green New Deal is forcing Republicans to debate the issue. The conversation has moved from global warming being a hoax to what are we going to do about it. Repeal and replace is no longer a Republican talking point. We are now talking about the best ways to provide more coverage to a greater number of people. Reasonable people can disagree on the best ways to proceed, but at least Democrats are controlling the conversation. Democrats clearly have the home field advantage. Just ask Bill Belichick how important that is.
