Schumer on Trump: 'If he changes, we could work together'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump's agenda Sunday, arguing Trump had governed like "someone from the hard right" in his first 100 days.

In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Schumer, a New York Democrat, dinged Trump on a slew of issues, including healthcare, trade and efforts to overhaul the tax code. Schumer called the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court one of the few clear successes of the administration.

"He is not governing from the middle. He's governing from the hard right," Schumer said. "That's why his regime has had hardly any major successes with the exception of Gorsuch."

"If he changes, we could work together," Schumer said of Trump. "But he can't just dictate what he wants, not talk to us and say you must support it."

Chuck U Schumer, put me in as POTUS, I’ll show you what hard right looks like. Trump is considered centrist around here.

No recording. Republican aide on same flight heard it and reported it. From the New York Post December 16, 2009: He criticized Republicans for “trying to score cheap political points” from the incident.

That is bad...something Democrats NEVER do. And, later in the article...

The attendant accepted his apology... Schumer went back to Washington ... on US Airways yesterday. A flight attendant said he behaved himself.

“He was quiet. He wasn’t on his cellphone or anything,” she said. But other flight personnel said Schumer has a reputation.

“He’s not nice,” said a flight attendant who has served the senator before.

I wonder if he passed the bar exam in NY. There have been other prominent politicians who couldn’t do it because they weren’t really bright enough for the bar, but just the right amount of clever for politics.
