'Strain credulity': Ex-conservative blasts Dems for suggesting they could work with Trump
Raw StoryDemocrats should not even consider treating Donald Trump like a normal president and try working with him on the issues, former conservative turned anti-GOP columnist Jennifer Rubin warned in The Washington Post on Monday — and any efforts to do so are "unwise, premature and embarrassing." In recent days, particularly following the chaotic near-government shutdown that unfolded last week when tech billionaire Elon Musk blew up bipartisan negotiations in the House, Democrats have found a more oppositional voice. "A depressingly high number of elected Democrats are declaring their intent to find 'common ground' with President-elect Donald Trump and his crackpot Cabinet picks," wrote Rubin. "Democrats strain credulity if they imagine they can find common ground with someone who vows, among other mind-boggling schemes, to imprison opponents, deploy the military against immigrants, snatch the power of the purse from Congress and pay for tax cuts for billionaires with cuts to entitlements and other programs that serve ordinary Americans."
