(i.e. eat &*@^ going headfirst over one's surfboard). The front-runners are all competing to out-extreme each other in "resistance".

Most recently some have supported Mark Pocan's "Abolish Ice" bill. The line of argument sounds eerily like that of Trump on healthcare (kill the PPACA first and replace with something great later - promise). Paul Ryan was almost giddy at the announcement, and wants to put it on the floor for a vote as soon as possible. Realizing the trap they were walking into, Pocan pulled support for his own legislation.

On the one hand, it looks like the tail is wagging the dog with the fringe setting dems up to ruin what should be a victory lap against a wildly polarizing president. On the other hand, that's what the Freedom Caucus effectively did to republicans, and it didn't stop them.
