This is why we need to be careful working with Trump. We normalize him.

President Donald Trump’s deal with congressional Democrats to keep the government funded and provide hurricane relief is drawing strong support from across the political spectrum, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found.

The poll found 71% of adults in the U.S. approved and 8% disapproved of Mr. Trump bypassing GOP leaders to strike a short-term spending deal with Congress’s Democratic leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California.

Meanwhile, the GOP president’s job approval rating edged up for the first time since the spring, rising 3 percentage points to 43%. That is still the lowest mark for modern presidents at this point in their first term.

I don't know what the answer is but I do know working with Trump comes with a cost.

I want to see his approval numbers remain far below his waist size. Our raison d'etre is to ensure he's a one term president. Everything else is commentary.

A fine line to walk on here...yet..we need to salvage what we can and we are stuck with him currently. The hate and power of the right wing corporate GOP are vicious! They will amplify obstruction claims that makes us look unelectable even though they are the true obstructionists...Very hard line to walk...we are with minimal options.
