My opinion - Trump needs to quit making nice with the Dems. The dems will never embrace the policies he promised(us) his base while running for office.
If he continues to make nice with them his base will turn on him and he will end up a joke. Ask Megyn Kelly what happens when you turn on your audience.... thinking the left will embrace you with open arms.
He tried being nice with the GOPe and got so many knives in his back he could open his own cutlery business.
What I find interesting is Grassley’s collusion in this. Grassley and that birdbrain Hatch are as much part of the swamp as Graham, Ryan, Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell.
“My opinion - Trump needs to quit making nice with the Dems. The dems will never embrace the policies he promised(us) his base while running for office.”
I agree. I think there’s two separate strands here though. I think Trump is making nice with Schumer and Pelosi right now because he’s focused on teaching McConnell and Ryan a lesson about who the boss is. A little too focused perhaps, given some of the things being agreed, but I have faith this is just a temporary play and won’t continue.
And then there’s some of his inner circle, such as Kushner, who are making nice with Dims because that is where they are ideologically. That, sadly, I don’t see changing, not without those involved being removed from the WH.
