Sarah Huckabee-Sanders wants more bipartisanship, calls investigations a waste of time.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-warns-democrats-dont-waste-time-investigating-trump?ref=home

If Democrats do win the House, as Fox News first projected, anchor Bret Baier asked Sanders: whether she believes they should focus more on legislation than investigation. “I believe that’s what should happen,” she said. “I think that’s what America wants to see.”

“We have a president that’s willing to work across the aisle to get things done,” Sanders insisted.

“We feel good about where we are in the Senate, but if Democrats take the House they shouldn’t waste time investigating. They should focus on what the people have put them there to do.”

She urged Democrats not to “be the party of resist and obstruct” but rather work with Trump to “solve some of the big problems that we’ve been leading on over the last two years.”




A few fun-facts:

1. You can do investigation and legislation at the same time.

2. Trump has actively sabotaged the democratic efforts to solve the DACA-crisis.

3. The people gave the House to Democrats because minorities don't like Trump.

4. It is a well-known fact in politics that the junior-partner in a coalition-government becomes less popular over time, because the bigger partner gets all the credit and the junior-partner cannot complain without endangering the coalition. The bigger partner gets to build profile and success, while the smaller partner is damned if they play along, damned if they don't.
Democrats becoming friendly and bipartisan is the biggest-possible mistake they could make. Even if they work with Trump, they need to keep him at arm's length.

Didn’t work for Neville Chamberlain, won’t work for the Democrats.

He’s itching to abolish Congress so they better fight like hell, no holds barred.

Seems easy enough...

We're actually quite good at that.

Won't be long before we hear all the usual rhetoric about the "healing process" and "working together."

Funny how the Republicans ram through their diabolical legislation and laugh at Dem attempts to stop it. But, second they get steamrolled in one of the chambers, it is time to join hands and sing kumbaya. Nope. Just nope.

They had no interest in that with a Republican dominated house. I don't think most Republicans these days know the meaning of bipartisanship. They seem to think it means that the Democrats should cave in and give the Republicans their way all the time. They just whine and try to get their way without making any concessions to the Dems. When the Dems don't give in, they'll complain the Dems aren't being bipartisan.
