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.

That’s why we have Trump instead of one of the typical republicans. They HAVE been working with Obama on an agenda the people don’t want. Of course they’ll work with Hillary.

Trump will be the only “R” to get my vote this year, and for as long as the GOP so chooses to put up traitorous uniparty candidates. Write in & 3rd party for me from here out. Screw these filthy traitors.

DEATH TO THE ESTABLISHMENT UNIPARTY!

VOTE TRUMP!

(And this, from an ardent Cruz supporter. We must first kill the Uniparty. Another day we can have arguments over the going nature of conservatism ...)

You are right and they are so fearful if Clinton does not win because they will be exposed as corrupt to the core.

The solution is to repeal the 17th amendment.

After that, the 16th amendment.

Many problems would be solved.

Imho of course.

Reminds me of surrender-monkey McCain’s comment about the Kenyan Marxist, that we had nothing to worry about

Don’t vote for GOP senators.

They don’t deserve the senate.
