I have no problem with Trump working with Schumer or Pelosi. He's playing with snakes, but that's the position he's been put in by the supposed leaders of his own party. Ryan and McConnell are the ones who should be in the snake pit but they're so focused on being obstructionists with the Democrats AND mean old Trump that they've emasculated themselves. They're feckless fools who serve no purpose but their own cloudy agendas. Both have spent so much effort shielding themselves from a hostile press that they have no idea how to lead, or even function as lawmakers, when handed an historic opportunity.
The MSM has been fully exposed as a political arm and no longer need to be feared, but like dogs who have been whipped too much, Ryan and McConnell simply keep their tails tucked and snarl at anyone who approaches. It's time for them to go and to get some fresh thinking into politics. Deals can be hashed out and real progress made in this country if it weren't for these petulant children.
