Well, Ryan and McConnell are not buddies and Schumer is! Those two can wheel and deal and joke around, have a grand ol’ time.

Trump's own tweets about not kicking out DACA immigrants are apparently also fake news or something now, too.

No, it was not a mirage. Trump's own party is plotting against him and he is getting leverage where he can find it. For the last seven months, Dem leadership has been portraying Trump as Hitler, and too many Republicans have been portraying him as a misguided fellow who needs correction.

Now that the Dems are supping with Trump, they can't really call him Hitler, their crazies (e.g. Waters) seem crazier, and the Republican congressional leadership won't be able to say that they run the show. Trump is playing the gal who flirts with another guy to make the boyfriend behave better.

Trump is making it very hard to portray him as an uncompromising, narrow-minded ideologue. But until he actually cuts a deal, cut him some slack as the bad guys are trying to control the narrative.

Obama had Republicans for dinner, and we all knew it was in order to further his own agenda. Why can't trump do the same thing?

It's called leverage since McConnell and Ryan are obstructing his agenda.

You don't think Reagan met with the Democrat leadership?

It is going to be very difficult for the Democrats to continue to try to marginalize Trump if they are making deals with him.
