Senate Democrats’ Surprising Strategy: Trying to Align With Trump
Quote:
Mr. Trump campaigned on some issues that Democrats have long championed and Republicans resisted: spending more on roads, bridges and rail, punishing American companies that move jobs overseas, ending a lucrative tax break for hedge fund and private equity titans, and making paid maternity leave mandatory.
Some Democrats are even co-opting Mr. Trump’s language from the campaign. “Every single person in our caucus agrees the system is rigged,” said Senator Debbie Stabenow, Democrat of Michigan.

Every politician is a survivor first and last, especially the Senators who also have their huge ego's to content with. And so much for women against Trump. Besides Schumer has always been a rat.
