Sorry, but working with Trump on key legislation would serve two purposes

[HopeAgain]

11. And the majority of Americans remain apathetic because nothing gets done in Washington..

Sure obstruction, obstruction and obstruction worked for the Republicans at the polls, but as we are seeing, it didn't work for having a functional party.

I am old fashion, I guess, but I believe the government's first duty is to govern. We aren't going to get universal healthcare with the current situation, but we can possibly improve on the ACA with moderate Republicans. Saying we are going to do to them what they did to us brings us into the danger of being like them. This isn't about retribution, it is about improving American lives.

I get distressed, frankly, when I see intransigent ideologues look to divide by demanding an "us against them" attitude in all cases. That is the attitude that created Trump and could just as easily backfire on us as the it did the Republican party. Trump may yet prove to be the end of the Republican party, but if we can't put people first, we could suffer the same result.
