Most Voters Welcome Trump’s Outreach to Congressional Democrats

[Chosen Daughter]

I don't think it's that simple @skeeter

Granted, we find ourselves in unchartered waters, but I think the voters made it clear in November that they want change, they want action.  Sorry to say, but the Republican caucus has proven itself the antithesis to both.

Those Republicans and Independents who voted for Trump want his agenda implemented---and they're saying they don't care if it takes Democrat votes to make this happen.

I call bull crap on you and your numbers.  What voters?  I remember cheering for a border wall and American jobs.  So those aren't the ones that voted for Trump.  But those voters have been duped.

Setting and meeting "strategic" goals are certainly ONE important priority of CEOs, ....

Of course @Concerned  But the importance of achieving such goals was the focus and point of my post....not a formal job description of the corporate CEO.

Where did I quote numbers @Chosen Daughter ... or have you confused me with someone else?

[Right_in_Virginia]

.../yeah right.

Good.  We agree.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Enjoy the silence. 

But don't get used to it.   

[corbe]

   I tried to tell them earlier that they need to calm down and not discuss masturbation, particularly on one of your Threads @Right_in_Virginia but that @RoosGirl kept bringing it up.

[roamer_1]

Good.  We agree.

No, we most certainly do not.

[RoosGirl]

But don't get used to it.   

Soooo much time for BS and no time to answer real questions, even when a poster bends over backward to meet your rigorous wording requirements.

LOL  Yes, I love discussing masturbation with you @corbe

numbers.............

Despite their failure to advance President Trump’s agenda, congressional Republicans aren’t happy about his outreach to Democrats in the House and Senate, but most voters think it’s a great idea.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is good for the country if Trump works with congressional Democrats to advance his agenda. Just 13% think the bipartisan cooperation is bad for the country, while 21% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Only 19% believe the president should continue to rely on congressional Republicans to pass his agenda. That’s down from 29% in early April. Sixty-five percent (65%) now feel he should reach out more to Democrats in Congress for help versus 58% who felt that way five months ago. Sixteen percent (16%) are not sure.

Republicans (72%) are even more enthusiastic about the president working with congressional Democrats than Democrats (62%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (63%) are.

....66% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is good for the country if Trump works with congressional Democrats to advance his agenda....

The big problem here is 'his agenda' is becoming the Democrat agenda and not his truthful hyperbole from the campaign. Instead of judging the agenda that is being advanced on its actual merits, it is being judged if Trump supports it or not. The new line of demarcation is based on a person, not principles.

They're not MY numbers @RoosGirl   ... they're Rasmussen's.  If you don't like them, go fight with him.

   I have been instructed by Mod8 that I need to up my sleeping pills cause I tend to stay up longer than is beneficial to our happy little Family here.

All that masturbation and you'd think you wouldn't need the sleeping pills.

That is not a new line of demarcation. 

That was present since the primaries when his past liberal Democrat positions and statements in the media were examined with the claims of his "Conservative" bona-fides.

With Trump it has ALWAYS been based on his person and not Conservative principles.

Which is why we reference it as a cult of personality.

Because it is.

You aren't the only one who's "touched" on this thread.

Same with "buthurt"

This is how populism works. It isn't based on principles with long term goals. It blows with the wind. It can contradict itself the next day. Going with the wind is not leadership - but it can make one popular - at least for a little while. But it never works towards the betterment of the country who practices it very long.

Yes, it does.  Sort of like democracy.

And @Right_in_Virginia, as I pointed out, a CEO (or a President) won't be successful, if he/she doesn't accomplish their tactical goals also.  I provided a list of tactical major, consistent, campaign promises from Trump's campaign:  many of which he's failed on or abandoned.

We're supposed to just ignore those promises and cheer his lurch towards the left.

At least that's what the blind followers of Trump want us to do.

Great.  Thanks. @Concerned
