Usually when Trump reaches out to someone someone gets hurt.

If Democrats worked with Trump on anything, it would be the first time in living memory.

Even the Democrats who had a majority in the House in Reagan's administration, didn't give him and ounce of cooperation. Reagan had to take his case for a military buildup and cutting taxes, directly to the people, by making nationally-televised speeches in which he asked people to call their Congressmen and demand they pass Reagan's budgets. Only when the Congressthings received huge floods of such letters an calls, did they finally vote for the... after basically getting it beaten into them.

Democrats NEVER work with Republicans. On anything more important than naming post offices. Ever.
Making it the great massacre of 2017, when Obama came to Congress with Trump, pushing for the new revised Trumpcare. Cause everyones heads would explode. And Obama would do it for a better healthcare plan.

Many of Trump's talking points on his address to congress were democrat ideals like education and supporting women. Yet they still think it was Putin that gave him the election not that Hillary sucks.

The bottom line is Obama had no interest in working with the GOP on a budget when he started, rammed the ACA down everyones throat and it was Obama that didnt want to work with the GOP. Now the Dems are mad they got demolished in the last 3 elections.

Bush could work with democrats.

At this point, Trump could propose 100% funded Universal healthcare and make the 1% pay for it all and the Democrats would oppose it.
