Centrist Democrats: We can work with President Trump
Getting ready for Trump wins in their home states may just be good politics for moderate senators.

As Democrats portray Donald Trump as a dangerous leader for his party, most of them barely acknowledge he could be president. But some centrist Democrats say theyre ready and willing to work with the business mogul should he defeat their partys nominee.
The people will have a chance to vote. If Donald Trump is elected president there will be a great opportunity to sit down and have a conversation about what that agenda looks like, explained Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), who has long backed Hillary Clinton. If hes president, were going to have disagreement. But wed better all figure out how to come up with an agenda for the American people.
Take Tester, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, whose job description calls for retaking the Senate by relentlessly linking incumbent Republicans to Trump in purple and blue states this year. But should Trump shock the pundits and win, Tester acknowledges that there are for sure things he can come together with Trump on, as long as theyre good deals for America.
