Should Dems use all the crap that comes out on Trump to get our agenda through?

Tell Trump, our way or your going down? Rather than just have him go down and not get anything we need done?

I don't have an opinion either way but maybe this could be a golden opportunity to get some amazing stuff through? Obviously this would need to be done in back rooms so we might not know what is going on other than seeing Trump suddenly signing on to our agendas. Probably a long shot anyway but I thought it was worth talking about. Single payer HC is one example, also real impacts on climate change. I would rather save the world than just take Trump down if that was possible.

This would have to be done very carefully to keep it lawful. It could totally backfire if not.

Do you think for one instant that the reTHUGs would even hesitate to use whatever they could find or fabricate to use against us?

1) He truly is so delusional he thinks he's done nothing wrong, and
2) Even if he DID think so, he'd never trust the Dems to not still double-cross him in the end after getting what they want ... because that's exactly what he'd do.
