What would happen if the Democrats just left D.C.?

The pukes and Czar Bannon are going to do whatever they want, the rules be damned.

Would things go any different if the Dems simply refused to go along and participate and left town?

I'm not sure exactly what all the Dems leaving DC would accomplish. It would probably look really bad on them, politically as well. We need them to stay and fight with whatever tools at their disposal. As bad as things are, imagine the mischief if there was not only nobody in DC to fight them but also nobody to tell us what's going on? Also, who knows if they would even be let back in. Nope. Bad idea IMHO. Just give Trump a ton of political ammunition that he doesn't need and we don't want to give to him.
