Should Chuck Schumer request a meeting with Mitch McConnell?

Just so each can see where the other one stands?

There is a looming crisis ahead of us if Donald Trump does not follow the Constitution and puts his business into a blind trust? The Party leaders need to discuss this issue. They should meet and discuss their realities about what is best for our country? Not what is best for the Democratic or Republican Parties.

In my opinion, this is a time for discussion and understanding of what it truly means to be an American?

The very least we can do is attempt to communicate with each other.

Does one really expect McConnell to listen or even talk to Schumer? Not me.

working on deciding how much they will remove the filibuster from the Senate rules.
