Chris Murphy: ‘No Political Benefit’ for Dems to Block Everything Trump Does

‘I don’t think there’s political benefit to Democrat to obstruct everything he does’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: "Trump pitch is different, his pitch is that I alone can fix this. And so, it’s results -- it's impact people’s lives that really matter. So, I don’t think that there’s political benefit to Democrat to obstruct everything he does. And I think right now, you've sort to put out open arms to him and you say, if you’re willing to come meet us halfway we’ll work with you. I don’t see that invitation coming. I just don’t see the Trump's move coming to try to work with us on infrastructure and tax reform. So I think that we can be open to those overtures, I would just be really surprise as they ultimately show up. I think Republicans are going to shove some stuff through on reconciliation votes and then maybe pack it in for the year and our focus is going to have to be explaining to the people the utter grave damage that's going to be done to their lives if that happens."
