And work with them to decimate this country for turning blue?

He could basically stick it to everyone including those who voted for him

He is not a principled conservative by definition. He is in some areas.
But with this defeat and knowing he wont get anything done for the republican voters via congress, I was telling a friend that, Trump might want to boost his ego, help his legacy and historical significance that I could see him teaming with the Dems on passing something big.
This would tick his maga base off depending on what it was, but it looks like some of them switched back to being a Democrat. So who knows.
If he can team up with Dems on a pet topic for them, then he might be able to keep them off his back on investigations into his family.
Trump is about Trump and he may very well want to leave a mark, legacy, something historical even if it is something the Dems want.
I hope I'm wrong, but Trump is always full of surprises and it's to usually benefit him. This is coming from a 3 time Trump voter.

Im in Pigeon Forge now. Just saw a firetruck headed down the parkway. Probably to the trump store. I think the owner set it on fire for the insurance payout.

He’s not a “principled conservative” by any definition? Are you certain you know ALL the various thousands of definitions of “principled conservative” that the countless various peoples of this country have in mind when they talk on the subject? You sure? That’s a pretty tall order, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it.

He can take all his ill-gotten gains made in the White House and relocate wherever. I really never want to see his lying face on the television again.
Trump was never a real Democrat or Republican. He’s an opportunist at the expense of poor dumb folks ( bless their hearts).

That brings up something I've been wondering about since Tuesday. What happens if Trump's ego starts outweighing his loyalty to the Republican Party? He's a lame duck, his political influence is weakening, and he has no reelection campaign to worry about. If Republicans start distancing themselves from him, what incentive does he have to remain loyal to their agenda?

He's never been particularly ideological, and he has a history of flirting with bipartisan deals when it suits him. Now consider a Democratic Congress eager to pass legislation and a president desperate to prove he's still relevant. Trump could sign popular Democratic legislation, take credit for getting things done, and potentially win approval from people who've spent a decade despising him.

For a guy obsessed with being loved and remembered as a winner, that might be a more appealing final chapter than spending two years fighting Congress while his own party abandons him.

He's a populist, after all. And his allegiance has always been more to his own popularity than to any coherent political ideology. Not saying it's the most likely course but a Trump turn towards the Democrats is plausible in his last two years if they play to his ego.

I think he already had some quotes yesterday that he didn't just want to veto everything for two years and was open to working with them. So, it's not crazy.

Trump was a Democrat for 8 years of his entire life. The 8 years that George Bush Jr. was President. He wasn't a Democrat before that, and hasn't been since.

Lie: "Trump was always a Democrat before he turned Republican to get elected."

False. This is another one of those lies that everyone just believes.

he first registered to a party in 1987, as a Republican. Since then (39 years), he's been a Democrat for 8 years, all Bush Jr years. So, that's 31 years of not being a registered Democrat.

There are not thousands of definitions.

There are thousands of people who want to pretend to be conservative without actually being conservative.

Because it's hard to sell out to lobbyists and other things for your own personal gain while being a conservative. You have to promote big spending and big government.
