Democrats are naturally inclined to consensus, compromise, and working together.

Republicans are exactly the opposite.

It would be "unnatural" for Democrats to oppose Donald Trump on everything. It is not in their nature. That is one of the reasons they are Democrats - they look for ways to work together to resolve problems within our society.

This could create problems with the grassroots that want to oppose Trump on everything. It isn't going to happen. Democrats will be Democrats and look for compromise and consensus.

1. Democrats govern, Repubs rule....nt

2. If the Democrats ever want to win again and be allowed to govern, they

need to oppose Trump on everything.

4. I hope they realize this because one more bad election cycle and 2018 does not stack up well for us

and we might as well forget about ever having any say ever again.

7. If this cause doesn't unite us, nothing will!

9. Very true... I don't think those who are arguing that we need an idealogue to run the DNC and the

other what I consider unimportant periphery issues understand, that the next two election cycles are make or break for us... the main issue is who can help us win elections...period.

3. Disagree.

Democrats are also pragmatists, they operate based on facts and the truth, not adhering blindly to sanctioned political dogma, as is the case with most Republicans.

And it will be Congressional Republicans Democrats will oppose for the most part rather than Trump; and Democrats will oppose both based on facts and evidence, where Republicans and Trump are factually wrong on the issues.

5. When one party is willing to compromise,

and the other is not, in this case compromise really translates as a steady march to the right.

6. Compromise is a 2 way street. It ain't gonna happen on the other side.

8. Maybe it's time to stop compromising?!
