In reply to the discussion: No one should be "delighted" to work with DT on any issue, no matter [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)64. It's a mistake, in my opinion, for anyone to do anything that legitimizes Trump.
I'm also of the belief that those who do such things are motivated less by any minor points of agreement and more by the possibilities of personal gain or professional gain.
When Obama was in office, the GOP used his willingness to reach across the aisle against him ... and they still opposed him at every opportunity. There were even one or two who betrayed Obama.
Now that Trump is in office, the GOP will AGAIN use the "sense of fairness" and willingness of those who think it's okay to "reach across the aisle" yet again.
It's as if they haven't learned anything. The Democrats need to learn to play dirty too.
When they go low ... WE NEED TO GO LOWER!! Otherwise, we'll always lose.
