Sam Stein: The Biggest Enemy of Trump Is Himself

‘So long as he can stop the tweeting and erratic behavior, maybe he has a chance to succeed’

EXCERPT:

STEIN: "Again, also, the biggest enemy here for Trump is himself. So long as he can stop the tweeting and erratic behavior, maybe he has a chance to succeed. But the truth of the matter, as we reported yesterday, Kelly’s already making entreaties to top Democrats on the Hill. We have sources in the White House who are really encouraging him to go for it in terms of trying to found a Democratic-Republican coalition for things like tax reform. But Democrats feel like the well is poisoned a little bit here, that they can’t really work with Trump. And the truth of matter is that their base really doesn’t want them to work with Trump, too, after what's been a very tumultuous six months. I’m not entirely confident, having done reporting on this, that we’re going to see some sort of showering, a blossoming of bipartisan fever in Capitol Hill."
