Are you surprised that Trump has not reached out even one time to the Democrats?

[kentuck]

Even though they are the majority of voters in the last election. (That's right! He did not win the vote of the people.)

It seems like such dumb politics. To try and govern with the minority of public opinion.

But, Trump has done a swell job of pissing off everybody that didn't vote for him and that is a lot of people.

Maybe he thinks everybody loves him?

1. They believe they are the only real people.

And the only real Christians. And the only real Americans.

[randome]

2. I think he knows the walls are closing in around him.

Therefore his 'strategy' is to seek support wherever he can, and that means Republicans. He hopes to endear himself to them -and therefore have them ride to his rescue when needed- by playing up partisan politics.

3. Not unless they were waving money at him, no.

[maxrandb]

4. I'm more surprised

That the "media" isn't asking that question 24/7.

You know if Hillary had won, "reaching out" to Retrumplicans would be the next Benghazi!!

Hell, when it appeared that she would win, they started the "reaching out" mantra about a month before the election

[unblock]

5. Too much ego downside, not enough fawning approval.

Long odds for small ego reward.

Why would he risk that?

[Freddie]

6. He doesn't have to

That's the problem, they control everything so why try to pretend other opinions even exist? St. Ronnie did the same thing - if you weren't a "fellow conservative" you were worthless dirt.
The only solution is to vote in large enough numbers to overcome gerrymandering and voter suppression.

7. The CheneyBush regime also ignored the wishes of Democratic voters and officeholders, and they're

were able to do whatever they wanted. Bush also lost the popular vote.

8. I'm not so sure he's capable of thinking

I think of him more like a toad stool

[jmg257]

9. Why would he reach out? Anything he has to iffer

Would be refused. He SAYS he is everyone's president, but we are not accepting of his agenda or of his position in the least.

Returning his base is the only option.

10. dictators don't care

11. drumpf the psychopath will never work with you (Democrat), but he

will always work against you; he is doing a great job of that.

[dalton99a]

12. If this were 1930s Germany, he would have outlawed Democrats

[Fla Dem]

13. No, he has no need to. He has his dislusional base, his Russian Cabinet he doesn't need the

Democrats.

[beachbum bob]

14. trump will never reach out except to those who cheer him...and he has no problem

screwing those people just like he had no problem screwing investors, shareholders, cities, vendors, workers, and contractors.....the problem we have....most us and the media have never faced a sociopathic narcissist before, not ever in most cases...so we are still amazed at this guys antics...sooner or later we must learn how to handle

[LisaL]

15. No.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Not surprised at all.

[KingCharlemagne]

17. I'm surprised he hasn't put us in concentration camps yet. Or shut down the free press. - nt
