Does he need to?
Has at least 2 years of completely republican rule.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoAnd many of the Republicans hate him. The Republicans are the first alliance that he has to stitch together.
- hga 10y agoOr perhaps not, for as you point out, many, they're mostly the GOPe(stablishment) types, hate him. Hard to negotiate with such people, will no doubt be harder after all the lame duck session stunts they'll pull. I suspect he's considering a 2 year campaign against a "Do Nothing Congress" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress) as a threat to get them in line, and/or to get rid of a bunch of them in 2018 so he can accomplish a bunch of his promises that require the cooperation of the Congress.
