Doug Schoen: Democrats Made a Political Judgment They Would Score More Points with Opposing Trump

EXCERPT:

SCHOEN: "I think on both the healthcare bill and on taxation, this was not exactly a welcoming mat. And the Democrats made the judgment, and I think it was a political one, that they would score more points having no negotiations than frustrating negotiations that failed. And so far, given where the generic vote is, which is plus 11 in the congressional elections, I think that was the right political calculation. That being said, if the President is now extending an olive branch, I would think it’s in the Democrats' interest to accept it to try to get a deal done on both immigration and infrastructure."
