What do you think he could do to compel the GOP to cooperate that Obama hasn't tried? What does he have to offer or threaten?
Unlike Obama, Bernie has the experience with that body to know who to harangue, and who to schmooze up to. That, and he lacks Obama's naivete in thinking that he can get people who hate him to suddenly like and work with him, if he caves in on certain matters. Bipartisanship has to have both sides cooperating to work.
Don't hold your breath. Some of those republicans in the house might want to bend to him (maybe) but they know come election time thier conservative constituents back home that put them in office and can expel the from office might take issue.
It's all about keeping that cushy and prestigious seat in DC.
Maybe. But then again, any Republican can just as well face Democratic minority obstructionism if said Republican President tries to exclude people from this country just for their religion, or if those citizens of a certain religion have to carry identification papers, or if he wants to forcibly deport millions of illegals (as if our military and police aren't already overworked).
I can see you really are afraid that Trump is going to be the next president.
Do you still believe there are monsters under your bed at night, too?
You're Godd*mn right I'm afraid of that egomaniacal phony becoming President. Especially when he thinks he can promise to fix domestic problems by promising "something HUGE," without having any policy plans except to scapegoat unpopular minorities, or when he thinks foreign policy can be handled by expecting allies and enemies to be cowed under his bullying like his corporate sycophants. I like to believe the American people are wise enough not to vote for this imbecile, though then again, no one seriously expected him to have gone this long with such a large number of supporters. Maybe our only hope is if Mr. Garrison f*cks him to death.
