Democrats Can't 'Work With' Republicans Until Republicans Return to Reality

At a jam-packed press conference at the Capitol on Thursday, Pelosi said she has the votes, right now, to win the gavel on the floor with only Democratic support. And she said she would refuse any offers of help from the Republicans.

the time has come, where democrats and liberals must understand, WE ALL SO NOT HAVE TO GET ALONG, bullies only understand ONE thing....they remain a bully until some one stands up to them.

That time is now

Paraphrasing, "Trump's view of the US and the Democratic view of the US are wholly incompatible, only one of them can exist."

This is what we are up against, not a group who thinks their ideas will win out over other ideas, but a group who thinks their ideas are the only ones that should exist.

You cannot work with an opponent who wants you to cease from existing. The sooner Dems realize this, the better they'll be.

Gingrich and Trump have known this from the get go, that's why they'd supported gerrymandering and voter suppression. That's why Trump wants state run media, to shape the voters' minds.
