[Nevermypresident]

"With health care stymied by GOP divides, the White House has quietly begun reaching across the aisle."

snipped:
Rep. Henry Cuel­lar said White House staff reached out Monday to him and some in­di­vidu­al mem­bers of the Blue Dog Co­ali­tion and the New Demo­crat Co­ali­tion, two groups filled with mod­er­ate and con­ser­vat­ive Demo­crats, many of whom rep­res­ent swing dis­tricts and have repu­ta­tions for work­ing across the aisle.

2. Check your pockets, lock your gates.

3. Me thinks not everyone on the right is as enamored w cheeto as ryan and company.

I would think that the democratic party unified poses a far greater risk to them....especially after midterms. They are looking ahead and they are anticipating what we all are anticipating: a tsunami backlash.

4. There is no reason for Dems to work with Trump

He's vastly unpopular and highly ineffective. And the resistance will not stand for this. So he can bark up another tree. Plus, he can bite me.

5. IF these Blue Dogs bend over for tRumputin ....

So he can destroy the ACA

6. Just another half hind end idea

that was thrown out there for media consumption. Trying to change the narrative.

7. We can't work with him until he is out from under that big Russian hat. After the investigation.

Then he has to be an honest broker and that is a tough line for him to hoe.
