Senate Democrats have voted more and more in unison against Trump's Cabinet nominees, and now there is even talk of an unprecedented filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee. The reason I say this is polarization in this country favors Republicans more than Democrats, at least when it comes to Congress. Trump won 186 districts by double digits, compared with 171 for Clinton. So Trump won more districts by at least five points than Clinton won overall, and he won more districts by 10 points than Clinton won by at least five. That's not to say they can't do it — just that the strategic road map Republicans used doesn't necessarily apply to Democrats.
