"We have seen dysfunctional government for far too long now, and coalitions need to be built on infrastructure and other matters to make it possible to get things done. For starters that means being the responsible party in Washington, not the obstructionist party. Opposition will be necessary frequently with this administration, but Democrats do not want to be fighting this president even when they agree with him."

Pat, what in the world has Trump and his henchmen done that any sane person should agree with?  His first act was to sign an executive order banning people from entering the United States.  The countries listed in the ban do not have a history of sending terrorists to this country.  The countries that have sent terrorist to the U.S., like Saudi Arabia were omitted from the ban.  Trump's executive order was stupid even by his standards.

The Democrats have if anything been too easy on Trump.  They only stood up as a bloc on one cabinet choice, DeVos.
