Democrats are naturally inclined to consensus, compromise, and working together.
Republicans are exactly the opposite.
It would be "unnatural" for Democrats to oppose Donald Trump on everything. It is not in their nature. That is one of the reasons they are Democrats - they look for ways to work together to resolve problems within our society.
This could create problems with the grassroots that want to oppose Trump on everything. It isn't going to happen. Democrats will be Democrats and look for compromise and consensus.
Yeah, sure. Kinda like driving the Bernie supporters out of DU. Lets ask Jack Pines Radicals just how kind and considerate DU is.
Hmmm, the posts that follow don't seem to be any smarter than Kentuck.

2. If the Democrats ever want to win again and be allowed to govern, they
need to oppose Trump on everything.

3. Disagree.
Democrats are also pragmatists, they operate based on facts and the truth, not adhering blindly to sanctioned political dogma, as is the case with most Republicans.
And it will be Congressional Republicans Democrats will oppose for the most part rather than Trump; and Democrats will oppose both based on facts and evidence, where Republicans and Trump are factually wrong on the issues.

5. When one party is willing to compromise,
and the other is not, in this case compromise really translates as a steady march to the right.

6. Compromise is a 2 way street. It ain't gonna happen on the other side.

8. Maybe it's time to stop compromising?!
and these are the people who keep telling us how much smarter that are than us?

They are just afraid of being treated exactly the same way they treated everyone else the last 8 years.
I hope their fears are well founded.

As they fully well deserve to be.
But I'm really fearful conservatives and Republicans are going to forget and resume their usual habitual magnanimity.

One can't proclaim they "are naturally inclined to consensus, compromise, and working together" and then say the types of things the Dems say about their political opponents. In fact, those who are inclined to consensus, compromise, and working together would be too modest to even claim to be so.
We've pointed out to the primitives for years now that their own words argue against the lofty view they have of themselves. The bluegrass primitive gives us yet another example.

Oh, like Pelosi and Reid did with G. W. Bush? Oh, and Hail Satan.

One sentence..."The science is settled."
With that you mutts have declared all discussion off the table and established to yourselves one of the most bizarre religious cults ever devised.

Circular intellectual mutual masturbation. Crude, but accurate.

I think the chances of conservatives forgetting are around 50%. RINOs? Close to 100%.

Well, I watched the second-greatest movie, ever, Waterloo, yesterday while struggling to write the award for Minnesota Moses, and again the movie reminded me of our situation.
The first instance, already cited here a couple of weeks ago, was when the Duke of Wellington came into the Duchess of Richmond's Ball, and the band broke out in "Hail, the Conquering Hero Comes."
That's something I'd like to see when Donald Trump steps up to take the oath of office--and that music, too, not any of this lightweight "Hail to the Chief."
The second time, yesterday, was when Marshall Blucher, upon turning around to go to the rescue of the Duke of Wellington, announced to his troops, "No mercy. I vill shoot anyone who shows pity."
That's what we have to do; no mercy. No pity. No compassion.
