2. As I recall, John Boehner did respond when Obama attempted to work with the Repubs. But Boehner, who was establishment Repub, was dealing with a group of alt-righters. They eventually ousted Boehner.
Boehner was one of the few Repubs who answered like a human being when asked whether Obama was born in Hawaii. He said something like, "Hawaii says so. So I take Hawaii at its word."
But those were more normal times. These are no longer normal times. The House of Rep Republicans are Russian aiders & abetters, and some are traitors. There can be, and will be, no working with them. We can possibly work with some of the establishment Republicans, and in fact, we NEED them, just as they need us.
Same with the Senate.
But the Democratic politicians will need to be very tough, and prepared for a long drawn-out fight. No fear in calling things out and speaking straight to the public. We are NOT dealing with an ethical, honest administration or some in Congress.
