House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did the right thing in telling the President in diplomatic terms "to shove it" after his antagonistic tweet this morning accusing the duo of wanting illegal immigration, a crime wave, and higher taxes. They did the right thing by not going to the White House today. It was also amusing to hear Mitch McConnell, the master obstructionist, cry foul and then claim he never missed a meeting with President Obama. It took a millisecond for the fact checkers to debunk that claim. IT IS IMPORTANT now that Pelosi and Schumer not back down. They are dealing with a bully and the way to deal with a bully is to make him back down and squirm. Pelosi and Schumer have to hold their ground and make Trump blink first. This is actually a pivotal moment on how the President's relations with Congress will move forward. Pelosi and Schumer need to play their hand well.
