After the election, do think we will find some GOPeers with whom we can work?

[Stinky The Clown]

I really hope we can. The country simply cannot move forward with the hyperpartisanism.

1. a few, but

the one thing we have not discussed is what happens after the Koch Brothers see Trump go down, and THEN they say "here is all the money we have been withholding." They will see a chance to secure the GOP, to make sure that no one goes left, and that Trump is ignored. "here is that Real cocoa-cola, coke classic, not that new Coke." However, the good news is, Trump's opwn followers, many of whom are that working class whose fear Trump used, will still be angry. Divide, and conquer we must.

2. No Not With This Crowd. They Have Already Said No Compromise No Way.

Will not accept results if Hillary wins. Will try to remove her from office.

[CrispyQ]

3. I wonder too.

We desperately need the Senate. I honestly believe that that was the whole point of the Comey mess up - to fuck with the down ballot races. They know Trump's toast but hey, save Congress. Four years without appointing more Justices. I for one am sick of spoiled children running our government & I hope We the People vote them in the corner for a long time out. If we don't fix gerrymandered districts with the next census, progress is going to be a hard slog.

5. It will be very difficult.

Congressional Republicans will be put on notice by conservative voters that any cooperation with President Clinton will result in their being primaried. And they'll take these threats seriously.

7. I've long thought about that. We can actually affect their primaries.

Go over and vote in huge numbers for reasonable republicans. Knock out the tea bagger assholes.

A silly long shot, most likely, but it would sure work.

9. We can do that in Pennsylvania

They're known as "30-day Republicans": Dems who temporarily switch their registration to repuke to vote in the GOP primary only to keep the teabaggers from primarying the establishment GOPers. Then they switch their registration back to Dem.

[Bucky]

17. I have no interest in voting for Republicans or voting in Republican primaries.

The only way to beat them to beat them in the polls. That means work harder, educate more voters, make cooperating in Congress more appealing.

In economic terms: create a market demand for more cooperation.

[old guy]

8. No.

10. Compromise

Our system of government relies on all interested parties making compromises to pass legislation. It is set up like that purposefully to avoid the tyranny of the majority. The founders could have adopted the parliamentary system which they were certainly familiar with which would have allowed the majority to enact it's agenda without the necessity of compromising with the minority. They didn't and instead crafted our system. There have been a few times in our history when one party could govern like a parliamentary majority without reference to the desires of the other side: during the Civil War when there were few Democrats left in congress; during the New Deal era and in the two years following the election of 1964.

The obvious flaw in our system is that if the government is divided, as it often has been, where one party controls the legislative branch or even one house while the other controls the executive and one party refuses to compromise nothing can be accomplished. That is the current state of affairs.

This Republican party has consistently refused to make compromises with President Obama even in cases, such as the proposed 'Grand Bargain' of 2011 where they would have achieved many of their stated goals.

Whether this refusal to compromise will continue under a President Clinton no one can say. In some ways though I fear both possibilities. On the one hand if they continue to obstruct the business of the country will not be done. On the other if they do compromise one must wonder what form this will take on any specific issue knowing full well that they will try to extract a pound of flesh for every ounce they concede.

11. Moderates, their party kicked them out.

The one Trump supporter I know hates Republicans! I didn't ask why, the person is already lost from watching years of Foxnews.

[hfojvt]

13. I am afraid that we can

The way we usually do.

Democrats will work out one of their standard 'compromises'. Policies that are 80% Republican and 20% Democratic. A few moderate Republicans in blue states will go along while the rest of them scream bloody murder and keep pulling the discourse to the right.

[gratuitous]

14. Probably not

The word has gone out across the country that any cooperation with the Democrats is unacceptable. The shrillest voices in the Republican party will receive the most attention, and their unchangeable position will be that President Hillary Clinton is not legitimately the president. The popular media will give this point of view a full and uncritical airing, and every issue will have to first clear the hurdle of whether the Clinton administration has a legitimate role to play in proposing policies.

[kentuck]

15. We will have no choice.

Hopefully, we will not need many to have a working coalition.

[spanone]

16. well, with it eight months since President Obama recommended a supreme court justice...

they don't give a shit about the country is how it appears to me.
