Not a chance, but I hope he works with Dems on things since the GOP clearly can't get out of their own way. A grand bargain that traded dreamer amnesty for border security and tax reform (including an increase for the top personal income tax bracket, but cuts for corporations and closed loopholes) for entitlement spending cuts... Obama and the GOP nearly struck such a deal before the Dems decided they wanted more revenues than initially agreed upon. I also think he could gut free trade deals without having to compromise anything because he would likely get substantial Democratic support and be able to whip enough Republicans into line to make it happen. Finally, he could get universal Dem support on infrastructure and once again whip enough GOP legislators into line to make it happen. The debate about healthcare though would still be bitter and will likely go nowhere soon.
