Showing Original Post only (View all)Pelosi and Schumer are WORKING Trump! [View all]
They can get things passed by supplying enough Democratic votes to override the right-wing creeps. Because of that, they can force Trump to separate, say DACA from the wall, and get something good passed without also passing something bad.
It's called politics and that's how it works. Those two Democratic leaders are making the best of a bad situation and getting things done without having to vote for crap in the process.
This is why they are important Congressional leaders and why their abilities are direly needed in a Republican-controlled environment. It's also why we need to stop demonizing them when they don't do the impossible.
Thanks for your attention!

I agree. It's nice to see the two sides working together to get things done for a change.

In your opinion. I don't love the guy but I'm glad to see him working with Dems to get things done.

What a strange series of comments indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of Trump's nature....

No, you don't get it. I'm not a Trump supporter. I'm a democrat. Have been my whole voting life.
