Not as close as Shumer and Trump. The point is, these guys aren't as far apart on things as rhetoric would have you believe. Expect him to MAKE GREAT DEALS AGAIN, including with Shumer on a nominee for SCOTUS. One that will save face for Shumer so he can bitch and moan all over TV but get the nominee through.
i agree in general which is why i am still not sure which side is going to win over trump's ear in the end.
i would still bet on the generic republican position regarding all questions not directly connected with trump's political core. (which, as silly as it sound, doesn't seem to be the wall/DACA)
i disagree regarding the SCOTUS....trump knows this is much too important for his voters and if he delivers, they will shut up and put up with nearly anything.
otherwise...i would love for schumer to make a little fight out of it and force republicans to do away with the filibuster completely.
