He left healthcare off that list. i think healthcare, child care, all of these key issues. i think this could be a really strong message for the democrats. we need one like that now. >> dana: right. guy, certainly the democrats have shown they have enthusiasm when they are going against president trump. but if you dont have anything youre for, it gets harder. republicans have something to talk about. certainly the tax reform bill. they point to their favorite nemesis, former speaker and minority...
