One of Trump's most dedicated foes says Democrats 'have to be a lot tougher' to beat him

New York Attorney Gen. Eric Schneiderman said that Democrats need to get “tougher” in the fight against Pres. Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Liberal constituents, he said, should hold their elected officials to account as energetically as conservatives do.

In a Politico profile, Schneiderman talked about what he has learned after litigating multiple lawsuits against Trump — including the Trump University fraud suit, in which the then president-elect paid out $25 million to claimants in order to settle the case before taking office.

Having fought Trump in the courtroom — and survived an aggressive Jared Kushner-abetted character smear in the New York Observer — Schneiderman said of the newly sworn-in president, “He’s not playing hide the ball.”

“He’s not that different offstage from how he is on stage,” Schneiderman confirmed. “This is him. He is a complicated guy in some respects, but he is used to making his own rules and he plays a very aggressive game. When he wants to get something done he will use every tool at his disposal.”

I;m sure that would take care of the problem, at least with that one.
