Chuck Schumer said that.

And they picked this guy to be Senate Minority leader.

But even so. I think there are a number of issues where they can work with Trump.

To me, Trump is the most liberal Republican President since Nixon, or maybe even Eisenhower.

On the flip side of that Hillary would have been the most right wing Democratic President since, God I don't know, before FDR for sure.

Trump was able to win by running both to the right, and the left of her.

Here's an interesting article that appeared in the Nation way back in March that examined that possibility.

It turned out to be quite accurate.
