Americans want Democrats to work with Trump
A strong majority of Americans say Democrats should look to cooperate with President Trump to strike deals, according to the inaugural Harvard-Harris poll provided exclusively by The Hill.
The survey found that 73 percent of voters want to see Democrats work with the president, against only 27 percent who said Democrats should resist Trump’s every move.
The findings are significant as Democratic leaders in Congress are under growing pressure by their liberal base to obstruct the president's agenda. The poll shows the party is divided on how to deal with Trump: 52 percent of Democrats polled say they should cooperate with him on areas of agreement and 48 percent saying they shouldn't.
Those figures are nearly identical when the question is flipped – 68 percent of those polled say that Trump should be willing to compromise and find ways to work with Democrats in Congress. Thirty-two percent said Trump shouldn’t bend at all, even if it means finding ways to achieve his agenda without congressional approval.

Well, actually, it's been pretty much business as usual with Republicans and conservatives since President Trump was installed; the door's open, come on in, and we'll talk about things.
The way it always is when Republicans and conservatives run Washington.
It doesn't do any good though, when the other side temper-tantrums, "No, no, no, we're not going to talk. We want it all, all or nothing. It's our way or the highway." The same way they act when they're in power.
<<<has yet to hear a Democrat senator or congressman say, "Hey, I want to sit down and talk with Don."

1. Expect those numbers to climb, as Americans tire of Lefty's post-election juvenile antics.
Pretty clear to Fred that this election was about wanting to get things done.

2. Makes sense.
Despite the sensationalized protests, most Americans just want a working government. Right or left. Sadly that doesn't happen much.

9. President Trump authored "The Art of the Deal"
Lefty authored "The Art of the Squeal".

6. If the democrat party was actually capable of listening to the desires of average American people in the first place they wouldn't be on cusp of irrelevancy, as they are now. Expect more intransigence, obstinacy and tomfoolery by the dumbos....and more lost elections and abysmal failure on their part as well.
The democrats are nothing but a punchline at this point to a joke that was never all that funny to begin with.
^^^Democrats, liberals, and primitives need to pay heed to the boldened sentence, above.
But they won't.

10. As I have been saying
We have a small group of very vocal wingnuts that seem to think they are the majority.
From what I have seen in the past month the economy has kicked into high gear based on optimism alone.
After more than 8 years of stagnation this is a welcome relief nationwide.
I believe our democrat politicians are about to find themselves left behind.
I certainly don't want them to jump on the bandwagon and approve of every one of Trumps proposals nor do I want republicans to.
But the current actions of the Democratic party is going to leave them once again sitting on the curb wondering why the bus passed them by and leaving their constituents and the good ideas they do have as a voice in the wilderness.

14. And to 73% of voters. And the LW wonders why it lost in November
True; maybe it's time the Democrat party figured out promising more government, promising more taxes, promising more restrictions on individual freedoms, promising more humiliations in the international arena, promising to give terrorists a free rein to run amok all over America, promising free abortions on every street corner, promising seizure of firearms from law-abiding citizens, promising suppression of ideas and opinions not theirs, &c., &c., &c., just isn't going to draw many votes.
Maybe they need to look at the Republican party platforms and policies, to see what wins.
