I am a firm believer that a lot of the bad things getting ready to come down in Washington, DC need to be fully and completely owned by the Republicans (IE...Obama Care Repeal).
I am wondering if (especially in the Senate) if all 48 Democrats should simply not vote on those issue, abstain from the vote, let the Republicans and Trump own it fully and completely. Let all of the blood on hands as it were be Republican Blood, as it it going to get far uglier than the first ten days we have witnessed.
Let Republicans vote first on every bill, and once they cross the threshold of 51 votes in favor of a bill, get up and walk out refusing to cast a vote for wrong sited legislation.

Cruz did a 21 hour filibuster even quoating "Green eggs & Ham"
either do the same or find the video and just play it.
Schumer sent McConnell the exact letter McConnell sent to then-Majority Leader Harry Reid in February 2009 about President Obama's nominees
I say we continue to do that just keep putting their own words/ actions back in their mouths/faces.
