...Besides, there’s always a chance if Schumer makes nice with Trump that Democrats can end up as a key lever for him against Republicans in Congress. Imagine Trump floating a porktastic infrastructure bill that most of the Democratic caucus in the House and Senate supports and a decent chunk of Republicans in both chambers agrees with, whether because they’re centrists who don’t mind stimulus spending or because they’re simply afraid to oppose Trump and face the wrath of GOP voters back home. If Trump knows he can find bipartisan majorities in both houses to pass his bill, he could use that fact to pressure McConnell and Ryan publicly to at least bring it to the floor even if they and their conservative allies plan to vote no. That is, I think there’s a chance that Trump will be willing to govern as a de facto Democrat on certain policies even over the objections of the GOP leadership in Congress if he has partners in Schumer and Pelosi who are willing to whip votes for him...
