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.

Would they say the same about Donald Trump? Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s because they are too lazy to study intra-party opponents; so they just keep re-nominating the familiar name.

They won’t have to work with her. If she gets elected, she will probably get a Senate majority and the Republicans can let the Rats run all over them.

That "R" next to their name tells me they are unworthy.

Have you studied the candidates?

Indeed I have. Every stinking, rotten filthy one of them is nothing more than a uni-party traitor. Only way anyone should vote for such a thing is with a rope.

Conversely, these same Republican Establishment Senators would have MUCH more trouble dealing with President Trump.

They might have to come out and defend their positions taken earlier, or they could just have a “come to Jesus” moment, and renounce their former life of sin.
