Schumer says Trump fails bipartisan test
The Washington Times ^ | January 30, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

Democrats said President Trump will be under pressure Tuesday to prove he can actually forge bipartisanship in Washington, after a year in which they said he tacked to the right, shunning opportunities they gave him to work across party lines.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said that from judicial picks to health care to the tax-cut bill, Mr. Trump has tilted to the right — and for the most part hasn’t even sought Democrats’ input.

I agree. He made a damn fool of himself. The vote to reopen the government after Schumer's shut down, puts him on notice.

Watch Gillibrand make her move.

What a worthless schmeckel! He needs to find a mirror. His view of “bipartisanship” is heads I win, tails you loose. But here, he has once again, lost the toss of the coin, and is desperately trying to punt.

If you look at Supreme Court picks Republicans generally go along with Democrat picks. Democrats never seem to do the same with Republican picks. And I don’t think Clinton or Obama were getting Republican buyoffs on the people they picked.

What Chuck means is, “Trump won’t cave to Alinsky tactics”.

Hey Chuck!

There is no obligation to be “bipartisan” and capitulate to the ENEMY!!!!

They just act in a narrow, partisan way and the American people know it.

Not only do we know it, but we voted for it. It is nice not to be disappointed for a change.

Any time you hear a Democrat saying “Trump won’t be bipartisan” replace it with “Trump won’t give me what I want”.

Failing a bipartisan test with Schumer and Pelosi is like failing to kiss a rattlesnake and a coral snake. He’s foolish for trying. He should crush them as the vipers they are.

It would not surprise me if there were a picture of this guy in the dictionary reference, “asshole.” He should review some videos of himself.

We don’t want or need your input Schmuck.

What The democRAT Party represents is so odious, so immoral and so manifestly insane that democRATS have – in my estimation – have essentially forfeited their right to participate in the discussion of public policy
