GOP senators: We could work with Hillary Clinton
the Hill ^ | October 03, 2016, 06:31 pm | By Jordain Carney

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) is predicting that congressional Republicans will be more willing to work with Hillary Clinton than they have been with President Obama, should she be elected president.

"She is a known commodity, and I think there’ll be more camaraderie in terms of working together, than there might have been in the early days of Obama," Isakson told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Isakson, who is running for reelection and has endorsed GOP nominee Donald Trump, added, "I don’t think it will be like the post-Obama election at all."

Isakson's comments come as Clinton has narrowly trailed Trump in the typically red state, feeding Democrats hopes of expanding the electoral map. According a RealClearPolitics average of polls, the GOP presidential nominee is leading by less than 5 points.

The Georgia Republican isn't the only one who is open to collaborating with a hypothetical Clinton administration, even though multiple congressional committees are still probing her time atop the State Department.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Clinton would find a "willing partner" on immigration reform, bolstering the military and a Simpson-Bowles-type of initiative to improve federal spending, should she win.

"I can do two things at once. I can criticize and I can cooperate," he told The Hill last month. "I don't see that they're inconsistent."

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas)—while stressing that he doesn't believe Clinton will win in November—said Americans expect GOP senators to work with whoever is in the White House.

"We'll do our duty, you know regardless of who is president," the Senate's No. 2 Republican told The Hill last week. "The people we serve want us to to work together for their benefit so that's certainly my posture."

Cornyn declined to name specific issues that he believes he and Clinton could work well together on.

Political NWO whores all of them.

Absolutely correct. What “working with” that criminal skank means is screwing the American people by surrendering our Constitutional Republic, which many of our forefathers gave their lives for, to the oligarchy of Communist globalists called the United Nations, 50 members of which are American-hating Muslim countries. Every one of those bastards need to be voted out of office at the first opportunity.

The RINOs are showing their true intentions. All about themselves and no one else!

I live in Ga. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life. I will not vote for Isakson this time. Not after this. In fact, I will vote for his opponent. Don’t even know the Dems name.

I just wrote my senator the following.

Dear Sir,

I was appalled at your statement regarding your willingness to work with Hillary Clinton.

You had a opportunity to show your support for Trump, but instead all but endorsed Clinton.

I have always been a Republican. I always vote. Sadly, I will vote for your Democrat opponent this election.

I am furious at both you sir, and others in what was once my beloved GOP for undermining the GOP nominee Donald J Trump.

Good Day.

You are both exactly right. They are apparently in it for the perks and money, not to represent the people.

Texas has got to primary out Cornyn. He’s been trouble for a long time.
