Trump Faces Skeptical Democrats as He Eyes Bipartisan Deals

Ubi bene ibi patria
" Donald Trump wants to start working with Democrats. He might start by picking up the phone.

The president hasn’t called the top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer since before Inauguration Day, according to a person familiar with their relationship, limiting their interactions to a handful of events.

It doesn’t help that Democrats have been dismayed by Trump’s highly partisan first two months in office, and his repeated attacks on his predecessor Barack Obama’s legacy. Add in Trump’s dismal 36 percent approval rating in the latest Gallup poll and Democrats have little additional incentive to collaborate.

The president may still mount a charm offensive. He hosted senators from both parties at the White House Tuesday evening, giving him a rare opportunity to chat with Schumer. Trump name-checked the New York Democrat during some brief remarks at the gathering and told the senators: “I know we’re all going to make a deal on health care very quickly.” "

That's a rather dumb position. The Dems have every incentive to collaborate.

Trump is in a wounded and very weak position. His own party won't work with him and his last bill--the thing he most wanted--garnered a whopping 17% approval rating. Dem's could go to Trump with open arms and a list of things they want in return for votes to get things done.

Or we can watch 4 more years roll by with no progress in DC.
