You must understand...
modern national democrats loathe defense...
they are rope-a-dopers...who wait for any bill-idea-plan from the Repubs so they can launch distractions, lies and smears...
this is quite clever...it avoids discussion of the toxic results of their utopian socialist schemes and ties up the opposition...

note that when asked a serious TV question..the national dimdem, will, with in 20 words...use the word Republican and launch on them...watch the pattern...its about 99% of the time by plan...never ever actually explain/answer a thing about dimdem policies...but topic-shift ASAP...and it works most every time because the questioners are so inept and spineless.
Just watch them...its what they MUST do or risk exposure of the awful reality of results.
