Democrats Are Getting Ready for the Fight With Anti-Trump War Rooms


Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–January 3, 2017

By Laura Clawson

Interim Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile has decided that February, when the new DNC chair will be elected, is too long to wait for the Democratic Party to gear up against Donald Trump. She’s building a war room now:

The DNC’s new communications and research operation, to be staffed by former aides to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, will be one of several efforts from across the Democratic firmament to take on Trump, including the office of Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Center for American Progress and American Bridge. […]

Key priorities for the new DNC war room will be to shine a spotlight on Trump’s conflicts of interest with his business enterprises as well as on Russia’s alleged interference during last year’s campaign. U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia hacked DNC emails, as well as the private email account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, to influence the election in Trump’s favor.

And it’ll be up and running as Trump’s cast of billionaires and racists are up for confirmation, and for the first couple hundred outrageous things Trump says as president. The next DNC chair should absolutely have the chance to shape the party’s response to Trump, but Democrats can’t go dark until February.
