Donna Brazile: Trump "Has An Enormous Opportunity" To Find Common Ground With Democrats

On ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday, interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile said that the president-elect has an "enormous opportunity to reach out to Democrats." She suggetsed he should have Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for breakfast or "afternoon tea." "Let's see what Donald Trump will propose. Let's see what he will propose on education. Let's see what he intends to do in terms of ObamaCare," she said. <blockquote>BRAZILE: Well, if it's my way or the highway, then what you’re going to see again is another round of gridlock in Washington, D.C. You’re going to see retribution and retaliation. He has an enormous opportunity, as every president in the first 100 days, to show that he is eager to find common ground, to meet with Democrats. Chuck Schumer, I mean, Chuck Schumer knows Donald Trump, both New Yorkers. Have him over for breakfast, have him over for afternoon tea and see if you can find common ground... I mean, look, I’ve heard from Elizabeth Warren, I’ve heard from Bernie Sanders. I’ve heard from a number of Democrats that will fight. But there are also other Democrats who are saying, look, put something on the table. Let us work together. We have a lot at stake in terms of the economy. President Obama is leaving the White House and leaving the economy in much better shape than what he found it back in 2009. We are not hemorrhaging 800,000 jobs a month. The economy is growing, albeit not as fast as most Americans would like it to. But let's see what Donald Trump will propose. Let's see what he will propose on education. Let's see what he intends to do in terms of ObamaCare. Will he just repeal it without putting up an alternative that will strengthen it? Or will he continue to just say I'm going to just get rid of it? </blockquote>
