      16. And you use this fight as a model for future fights on immigration, foreign police. etc.

      17. Here's the other thing: the fight has to be designed to raise profile of congressional Dems & grassroots opposition.

      18. Every Congressional Dem should sign a manifesto promising to defend medicare. And in GOP districts, pick a local leader to raise a stink

      19. In every GOP district you have someone whose job it is organize resistance & have constituents complain to congressperson.

      20. Key point is to hang Ryan around Trump's neck and to destroy Trump's populist credentials.

      21. There was an old saying the civil rights movement: "the people need victories." Let's give them one, as early as possible.

      22. Mr. Ross Douthat of the New York Times has an objection:https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/797954081188741121 …

      The only danger with that fight is that you could end up defeating Ryan but not Trump.

      23. Issue is of framing: Trump & Ryan likely to eventually fight. Better to make it look like Dems defeated Ryan & forced Trump to give up

      24. Broader point here is that Trump is now head of a very unstable GOP coalition of conservatives, populists & authoritarians.

      25. Trump's remarkable achievement was to hold GOP coalition together in election & consolidate it around him.

      26. But governing that coalition is hard. Ryan, Thiel, Bannon & Pence represent very different, mutually opposed, factions.

          27. Until Dems can regain power, main political task is to create tensions between different GOP factions. Make them fight each other

          This is all very good - if only you worked for some sort of left-wing publication and could spell it out longform...

          And the thing that brings this coalition together is simple: War.

          Old GOP will roll over for Thiel and Bannon. Eventually, Trump will sic his supporters on Ryan and Priebus.
