Philip Bump: Dem Base Want Them To Do Everything Possible to Take out Donald Trump

EXCERPT:

BUMP: "But setting aside infrastructure, which they may be able to find an agreement on, everything else, Democrats have seen — and we were just talking about the enthusiasm of the Democratic base. That enthusiasm is not a function of their wanting the Democrats to work with Donald Trump. It’s quite the opposite. They want Democrats to do everything possible to take out Donald Trump. So, what we're seeing going into November election is, Democrats will be rewarded for standing in Donald Trump’s way. There’s nothing to suggest that the opposite is true. And I think the Republicans who yes, they used this special tool within the Senate in order to be able to pass the tax bill on 50 votes, they’re going to need to find Democratic support. It’s simply not clear where they’ll find it beyond maybe some red state Democrats who are up for reelection next year of whom there really aren't that many."
