Democrats not aggressive enough?

It seems to me too often Democrats allow Republicans to set the topic and frame the question. Case in point: “the Wall”. Is that really the most important issue facing us, more important than, say, the very really possibility that the POTUS has been compromised by a foreign enemy nation? I’d love to see the Democrats focusing on that issue, demanding, for example, Trump’s tax returns (remember them?) so the returns can be examined for foreign money which might correlate with foreign influence. A former head of the CIA has called Trump “a clear and present danger to the security of the United States”. Isn’t this a more pressing issue than some stupid wall? I'd love to see Pelosi add that Trump has been called a "clear and present danger" and mention the possibility of collusion ever time he brings up his stupid wall.

And if we must allow Republicans to set the topic shouldn't we always be calling it “the Mexican WalL”, always reminding people that for a few years Trump vowed to get Mexico to pay for it? Shouldn't we be rubbing his nose in the fact that he's failed and is now asking us to pay for something he said time and time again we wouldn’t have to pay for?

Just some thoughts.
