This is how they see it and what their reaction will be.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway urged Democrats to come to the bargaining table with President Trump on legislative issues and thinks they may be key to getting Trump's legislative agenda passed.
On Fox News Tuesday, Conway said bipartisan work on tax reform and infrastructure will be key to getting the administration's proposal through Congress. She said working with Trump could be key to some Senate Democrats' re-election chances.
"A number of them may want to listen to their constituents … that are saying we want some type of tax relief to allow us to spur this growth, this 3 to 4 percent growth, that allows us to retain and attract an American workforce," Conway said.
She added, "We would like the Democrats' help on tax reform, on healthcare reform, on infrastructure, and we certainly want Congress to move swiftly on all these."

In America, the swamp drains you.
BIG Mistake!
If he should learn one thing from Poppy Bush it’s that you can’t trust the Democrats to live up to their end of ANY deal you cut with them.
Well, don’t, Mr. President. Why?
Okay, I am going to be mean: move the Kushners out of the White House. I think they have too much influence. We did NOT vote for them.
We didn’t vote for any of Trump’s other advisors, either.
I want to ‘work with them’ to a real job out of Congress!
ROTFL! That's a good (printable) description of working with traitorous Demonicrats.
You do not work with democrats. Any deal you make with them is that they get what they want and we get spat upon.
They will praise you for a day, and after that, they talk about what a dummy you are.
There is no center coalition. Not anymore. Embrace Democrat positions on taxes, health care, and infrastructure and you lose Republicans.
Jared and Ivanka are pouring in more Swamp Water.
I can’t really blame him. If the Health care bill moved forward with improvments along the way the discussion right now would be much different. Wait is he’ll probably end the first year without any major legislation signed and the Republicans will run on more promises next year. There are no good options left. It really doesn’t matter who wins. If the Dems get in at least they can negotiate infrastructure before they get the impeachment proceedings going
..lip service—or influence from the wrong non-ideological individuals on the inside...
That's true.
Once again, we’re going to be told by some here that this is either Fake News, or it’s more brilliance and 3-D Chess being played by Trump.
I really loved all the excuses by some on FR when Trump was blatantly pushing Ryancare as a “Beautiful Thing!” We actually had FReepers telling us Ryancare was a good thing, all for the purpose of supporting Trump “no matter what!”
Sorry, but I refuse to be a groupie for any president, especially one who is abandoning some of his key campaign promises!
This is what you get when you have your Liberal Daughter and Son-in-Law serving as your advisors!
Only a stupid president would try to ignore the other party — and virtually half of Congress. “I ain’t workin’ with those bums! I can do this all by myself!!”
Trump isn’t dumb. Kellyanne isn’t dumb. Working with Democrats is pretty much mandatory.
That being said, if Trump keeps trying really, really hard to reach agreement, and THE DEMOCRATS keep saying that they “ain’t workin’ with those bums” then I think that builds political capital for the next election — without necessarily obligating President Trump to adopt Progressive policies.
Implying that the democrats of the 80s even remotely resemble the liberals of today.
It is time and MORE than time, for the “reach across the aisle” to come from the DEMOCRAT side. They are, after all, the minority side, and continued resistance only further isolates and marginalizes them.
But then that would imply they are capable of rationality and logical thinking, which has not been much in evidence of late.
“Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”
