    What has happened these last three years was what I expected to happen immediately after Trump took office and Democrats announced that they were the "resistance" and would fight against President Trump at every opportunity.

    I've wondered how different things would've been if they had chosen to cooperate and get along with the president. I'm not suggesting that they support his policies or his appointees. But what would've happened if Democrats had

    1) Avoided all talk of impeachment and 25th Amendment solutions.
    2) Tapped down the personal attacks on him and his family.
    3) Avoided the sneering condescension of him and his appearances.
    4) Avoided the arrogant condescension and sneering attacks on his supporters.
    5) Simply ignored virtually all his "tweets" and most outrageous statements.

    One wonders.

    While personally I wish he would lay off the tweets, I have to believe that he does it just to get the reaction he does. #chainjerk

    Well if they supported him even a tiny bit they would have been stuck with him for a guaranteed 8 years, and our country would never have been more prosperous, minorities would have 'woken" to the reality that Republicans are not the least bit racist in fact Democrats that want to keep minorities poor are infinitely more racist. They may have not seen the white house for another 50 years, so self preservation made them fight him at every turn, zero regard for the country.

    Clearly, he tweets in order to control the narrative. Without his tweets, the MSM controls the news of the day. They would otherwise literally never put forth his message.

    Voice of the people be damned.. right? So, cry what you will, but it still doesn't justify the position you're advocating here. Your statement is actually the problem..

    They basically just funded eveything Trump wants to do in that spending bill that was rushed through during all of this impeachment stuff.

    Congressman Thomas Massie discusses what's hidden in the latest spending bill...

    I suppose the real question is whether you want to get down in the gutter with him.

    We could have had a compromise deal on immigration, the Canada-Mexico trade deal could be in place, we could be lowering prescription drug prices, and working on infrastructure.

    The Democrats have learned their lesson well. Their strategy is based on the way President Obama was treated and before that the Clintons. Both Clinton and Obama endured all of the first 4 things on your list and had their statements challenged. That is why Republicans need to be careful about the precedents they set set in dealing with the impeachment issue, they may come back to haunt them. "As ye sow so shall ye reap."

    Reciprocity might have resulted in greater comity, but Fake Don's vicious insults against fellow Republicans during the nominative process was not conducive to expecting adult behavior from him regarding the loyal opposition. His constant lying and hysterical raving against the free press, pollsters, scientists, scholars,other world leaders, etc. would be most odd if it did not extend to Democrats who have Constitutional responsibilities to the nation that might upset Fake Don.

    Please Sir...may I have another?

    Yea...and no wives would get beaten if they'd just do what their husband wants...right?

    No one would ever get hurt by a mugger if they'd just close their eyes and throw their wallet at the assailant

    What a loser thread

    I never suggested that Democrats actually support Trump. Quite the contrary in the OP in fact.

    Democrats maybe like planning to take a dive in the impeachment vote. Best move they could make.

    90% of Trump tweets are a response to provocation

    Yeah, I mean if only they did that right from the start, Dear Leader could have gotten "clean away" with his lying corrupt behavior to hell with the constitution and the rule of law.

    One wonders how many american patriots have forgotten that the single greatest reason America became and is Great, just happens to be those few lousy scraps of paper.

    Yep one truly wonders.

    They could be doing that now. The Democratic Congress has passed lots to what Trump wanted but McConnell won't even let it come to the Senate floor, Instead, he just holds it and then accuses the House of doing nothing.

    Had Democrats not "resisted?"

    IMO, they could have had a lock on the Presidency post Trump for decades by having the MSM branch of the Democratic Party slant all Trump accomplishments as Democratic House accomplishments instead. Now? Not so much. The holy of holies has been rent well and good in front of the American voter who transcends politics in disliking being lied to by its government.

    They could have done with studying the Tao Te Ching, Machiavelli and Sun Tzu in the aftermath of 2016 instead of Valerie Solanas and Alinsky. That Alinsky **** is becoming transparent to voters in the net age post Complex hegemony on information flow, and they/we don't like that kind of manipulation one bit when it is dragged into the light of day.

    The Democratic Party, in so many ways, has done a stellar job of UNIFYING huge swaths of generally ignorant American centrist voters... against Democrats.

    Better get to manufacturing fake ballots, registering illegals and the Tammany stuff Democrats have always done best. Can they win it with their trademark bent nose fraud and saturation of permanent dependents with "freeeeee stuff?" Stay tuned.

    They probably would have had a shot at the 2020 election. Personally, I'm glad they're such idiots.

    It is impossible for true patriots, those with a copy of the Constitution in their desks or attaches, to sit back and allow a president that believes "Article II says I can do anything I want" to run free. From his bizarre inauguration address to today, Trump has been a horror to our Founding Fathers and American Patriots.

    His open invitation to Russia to meddle in our election began before he took office. From the start, Trump began lying (my inauguration crowd was bigger than Obamas). Then he hired Michael Flynn against better advice and Flynn was indicted. The he fired Comey because of 'that Russian thing." Thus began an endless string of shocking behavior and events surrounding Russia, obstruction, lying, attacks on opponents, arrests, and and shocking behavior (tweets, attacks on a free press, and appointment of people with clear conflicts of interest to his Cabinet).

    Anyone that believes in our Constitution and our laws will find it impossible to "work with" a criminal. Trump wants to punch down, disrupt, and destroy not build. Had he wanted to rebuild America, he could have received support, instead he went on a campaign to destroy the "deep state" and repeal Obamacare. Trump's clear love for the Earth's despots, dictators, and "strong" men raised red flags for anyone paying attention to obvious threats to our democracy.

    Trump's Impeachment was as inevitable as sunrise. His open invitation to Russia to meddle in our election began before he took office His Obstruction of justice, Witness Intimidation, Contempt of Congress, and Bribing a Foreign Official for Personal Gain, are all clearly impeachable offenses under our Constitution. Anyone that believes in our Constitution and our laws will find it impossible to "work with" a criminal. Trump wants to punch down, disrupt, and destroy not build.
