Looking to build itself into a nerve center for the anti-Donald Trump resistance, the liberal Center for American Progress think tank is relaunching its advocacy-focused arm Thursday and bringing on a longtime senior aide to Sen. Harry Reid to help lead the charge.
Adam Jentleson, Reid’s deputy chief of staff, will work to steer the new war room at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, which its leaders hope will provide Democrats with a centralized resource to oppose the president-elect’s moves — starting with his Cabinet nominations.
The re-orientation comes at a difficult inflection point not only for Democrats, but for the constellation of left-leaning organizations that pepper the Washington landscape and that fully expected to be advising Hillary Clinton’s White House transition team at this point. CAP’s move, landing Thursday to mark the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Bill of Rights, is one of the most significant in a series of pushes into a world where Democrats are once again the opposition.
“Our goal is to be the central hub of the Trump resistance, to hold Trump accountable for the promises he made,” said CAP president and CEO Neera Tanden, a confidant of Clinton’s, her campaign policy director in 2008, and a member of her 2016 transition team.

Those idiot democrats don't want anyone to succeed that isn't a democrat. If a republican president turns this country around and gets people off welfare and has everyone working, improves our reputation in the world, stops ISIS, lowers taxes and truly makes America safe and great those America haters would still try to destroy him.
Dont you get it 4:53 there america is a communist socialist, marxist, based country. Unfortunalty we have allot of people that actually think commuinism is the way forward. The democratic party is just a front for the marxists out to destroy America.
