I said this months back that some things would require reaching across, and successfully called it that he would be condemned, whether he did so, or if he stayed the course (not in this issue, just reaching in general). If everyone were on-board for various reasons, the R's have the numbers. But not everyone is on-board with every last thing, so sometimes reaching is necessary - as we saw with healthcare. I'm not clapping or booing for anything specific, just pointing out that this is sometimes needed. And this is worse with Trump, as so many want him to fail, and so many purposely trying to block him.

Most Voters Are Happy Trump's Reaching Across the Aisle to Work With Dems
While some Republican lawmakers bristled at the deal President Trump cut with Democrats over government spending and the debt ceiling and are growing increasingly agitated at his efforts to reach across the aisle in the House and Senate, voters think it’s a great move.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, 66 percent of likely U.S. voters believe it’s good for the country for Trump to reach out to Democrats in an effort to advance his agenda. Only 13 percent said that bipartisanship is bad for the U.S., while 21 percent were undecided.
The view that Trump should rely on congressional Republicans to advance his agenda was not terribly popular, with only 19 percent of respondents agreeing. In April, 29 percent of likely voters believed the president should count on congressional Republicans. Interestingly, more people now believe Trump should turn more to Democrats for help (65 percent) than those who felt this way five months ago (58 percent). Sixteen percent were undecided.
Seventy-two percent of Republicans were pleased Trump was working with congressional Democrats while 62 percent of Democrats said the same.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted Sept. 10-11, and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
