...but you knew that.

Here is what Sanders actually said:

"If President Trump is serious about a new policy to help American workers, then I would be delighted to work with him.”

It's normalizing Trump and I can't get on board with that.
Are people so deluded to think we will get single payer out of him? Do they not understand what congress does?
Trump couldn't hand us a better plan if he wanted to. He shows no indication he wants to either.

And If you read the quote from Senator Sanders, he isn't normalizing tRump, in fact, far from it.

“I am glad the Trans-Pacific Partnership is dead and gone,” Sanders said. “For the last 30 years, we have had a series of trade deals — including the North American Free Trade Agreement, permanent normal trade relations with China and others — which have cost us millions of decent-paying jobs and caused a ‘race to the bottom’ which has lowered wages for American workers. Now is the time to develop a new trade policy that helps working families, not just multinational corporations. If President Trump is serious about a new policy to help American workers, then I would be delighted to work with him.”


No matter how we feel, what we think, who we voted for... Donald Trump is now the President of the United States. And trust me, I throw up in the back of my mouth every time I say it or write it. In fact, in many ways, I am still in shock. But we have reality to deal with.

People are pumped up, yet some want to bring them down.

So counterproductive.
