Should Democrats Oppose The Trump Administration On Everything?

1. Yes, absolutely. n/t

[Siwsan]

2. Being as everything I've heard he wants to do is destructive to us, YES!!

I'm trying to wrap my mind around how destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are, in any way, going to improve things for people. Rather, I see it as a way to 'cull the herd'.

Like most of us I paid into SS my entire working life, counting on it being there when I needed it. I also saved and invested money so I would have funds to to supplement the SS payments. I counted on having Medicare when my work retirement benefit healthcare insurance coverage expires, when I turn 65. And now, I am afraid that everything will be yanked out from beneath me, at once.

The future looks dire, but not nearly as dire for those younger than me.

3. Yes the future is bleak....

But did Trump run on cutting SS and Medicare??

[Siwsan]

4. Trump ran on nothing based in reality - his being "elected" will enable those who advocate for that

With the current legislative make up, who is going to stop the likes of Paul Ryan, who had long advocated for gutting the system - turning SS over to wall street and voucher health care.

6. I agree....

They guy is an empty suit, there is no telling what he will do.....

[Siwsan]

8. He's probably going to get bored and delegate everything to Pence and crew

Or do/say something SO outrages, they will have no choice but to remove him.

[physioex]

9. Probably right...

That's what happened with Cheney and most likely Raygun.

[kebob]

5. Hell Yeah!

Not just for revenge, but the fact that 99.999999% of everything Trump wants to do will damage the country.

7. Fuck Yes. They should give Trump the same courtesies the GOP. . .

. . .did with Obama.

ZERO.

10. Theere were a few thingxs he "proomised" during the campaign that I would ask the Dems to

work with him on. Rebuilding our infrastructure; maintaining SS as is and increasing the cap if necessary; guaranteeing Medicare for seniors with NO privatization.

Those are all things the Pubs will fight the Con on, but I believe those issues are Democratic Ideas and I'd like to see the Dems in Congress fight the pubs and side with the Con on them.

All his other promises either cannot be done, or should be fought against every bit as hard as the Pubs fought Obamas ideas.

12. Now let me hit you with some reality:

President Obama, here we go again. I have voted and supported you twice just to have you play nice nice with the Republican Party well supprise it didn't work. Oh yea the rich (1%) got a lot of benefits and got even richer and the middle class (approx. 23%) started to see some benefits, but what about he other 76%? Oh wait unemployment is at 4%, and we all know that is BS, the system you chose to play in is not rigged it is broken for the 76% of American's you chose to ignore in order to please those in you new inner circle. Play nice nice yea right, don't you mean get walked on while the Republican Party decides to look great with the American People. As they start passing what they wouldn't pass when you wanted it! Then wala the Republican Party looks great to the ignorant American citizenry and they keep getting reelected. When will the Democratic party learn to play hard ball again(?) not until it become the Democratic Party AGAIN. I have notice the change over as it slowly crept into the two parties which have now become one party, you either get Republican or Crazy Republican. Either way we have lost our two party system. So let's go play nice nice for the American People, you know like the Republican Party did, and when you say American People you mean the 24% right! Oh by the way I did support our real democratic candidate, Bernie Sanders, which you did not support. And yes I did take one for the team as I voted for this years republican (Hillary) I just figured Trump would be bad for the country. And now we have Trump, THANKS OBAMA, and people wonder how this happened as I reiterate " system you chose to play in is not rigged it is broken". The Democratic Party chose Hillary, we didn't, and don't give me the more votes BS I went and counted the actual votes and Hillary lost. The SYSTEM counted votes for her that were not there and the media went with it...

[sheshe2]

11. Yes.

[lonestarnot]

13. No fucking doubt about that! Anything they offer is Pig Bile as demonstrated by how they salute it.

[OnDoutside]

14. I think they should publicly SAY they are willing to work with him, as much as they can now, and

then in practice oppose everything he does.
