16. "Now that we've crossed this burning bridge..."

"We'd like to extend a hand to the Democrats and invite them over..."



"After we've been absolute assholes and shut you out and done everything we want, we think we ought to work in a bipartisan manner."



They just want to frame the Democrats as "the party of no" how they did it while Obama was president. His base will think this anyway.

Please proceed, Mitch! Show us how your side does "bipartisan". Don't tell Mike Pence, though, he probably won't like the sound of that.
