Boiling resistance to Trump produces Democrats’ herbal tea party

Some call it the resistance; others label it the herbal tea party.

Whatever the name, liberal insurgents demanding a more confrontational approach to President Trump and his Republican allies upended the Democratic establishment last week. From Boston’s Charles River to the Senate committee rooms at the Capitol, from Chicago’s City Hall to Delaware’s beaches, veteran Democrats found themselves under fire from political newcomers or upstaged by junior colleagues.

The moments suggested that Democrats are now in the throes of something resembling what Republicans went through eight years ago. That’s when the so-called tea party began to seize control of the GOP in a manner that still wreaks havoc within the House and Senate caucuses. CONT.
