Party over country

Over the years my cynicism about politics has grown and one of the main reasons was that politicians tend to put party above country. No matter who is in the White House the opposition does not want the country to have any successes because the credit will go to the President. The Republicans have opposed Obama on a regular basis and they have been rewarded with big off year election victories. As the Democrats view this will they follow the same approach hoping to win in the off years or will they put the country first and allow Trump to receive the credit for any successes. One of the first indications of which way they will go, will be how they vote on Trump’s desire to spend money on infrastructure. This is something the Democrats have wanted and now they will get the opportunity to help implement.
