Just the other day the Democrats took a good step forward by announcing that they were working on ideas that would help create jobs and improve the economy etc. In short, stuff middle class working people want to hear. now this comes along and you know there will be a big fight about it. If the Democrats allow themselves to be distracted by this and they make it the focus of their agenda, they are playing right into the Republican's hands as Trump tries to solidify his base with stuff like this because they are going to be angry with him when he fails them on healthcare.
