IS JANUARY 15th TOO LATE?

Bernie Sanders who has been put into the Democratic Outreach leadership position, says that through social media citizens ,labor unions and others will galvanize on the 15th of January to push progressive policy agenda items and stop the GOP's blitzkrieg. But is it too late?

Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader in the Senate,says he is going to fight hard to stop the GOP platform. He explained on Rachel Maddow that Trump's supposed populism conflicts with the Congressional leadership's agenda and that Schumer will fight him tooth and nail over the ACA,Social Security and Medicare. He also says that any Supreme Court nominee must be in the mainstream of American political thought. He thinks the hard-right will fail because their ideology is so way out of line. 

Encouraging words but as Rachel Maddow said they have the votes. Schumer says that repealing the ACA may be their ideology but their own internal contractions will lead to chaos. That is what I fear that repeal will lead to chaos and the Democrats can't capitalize on them.
