...make them feel the heat. Said by the Great Ronald Reagan of course. It seems that some of the Congressional Democrats are in tenuous positions and are planning to work with Donald Trump in order to bolster their appeal back home. From The Hill:
Vulnerable Dems ready to work with Trump
Vulnerable Senate Democrats up for reelection in 2018 are already identifying areas where they’re willing to work with President-elect Donald Trump and Republican colleagues.
North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) is ready to work with Republicans on legislation to invest in “clean coal” technologies.
More broadly, she says she’s willing to work across the aisle on regulatory reform.
“My priority is standing up for North Dakota, not party politics. The reason I’m in the U.S. Senate is to work with Republicans and Democrats to get things done,” she told The Hill in a statement.
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) is ready to work with the GOP and the Trump administration on military mental healthcare issues, curbing the exodus of U.S. jobs to foreign countries and combating the opioid epidemic.
“My responsibility to Hoosiers is to support the best ideas, regardless of whether the idea comes from a Republican or Democrat,” he said in a statement.
Quite the far cry from even a few months ago. Back then it was toeing the party line or else. Fun to see just how self-serving and venal these people can be when it comes to political power.
