Bill Maher makes Democrat Governor Andy Beshear go quiet after he complains Trump never does anything positive for Kentucky. Beshear tried to play the sensible Democrat who reaches across the aisle. Maher exposed the most basic form of diplomacy he doesn’t even try. BESHEAR: "If he [Trump] is doing something that’s positive for Kentucky, I need to give voice to that if I’m going to have any legitimacy opposing him when he does something negative for Kentucky. I just really wish he’d do something positive for Kentucky. MAHER: "Well, yeah. But honestly, having a personal relationship, I think, helps." "I’ll tell you something interesting. This time we were waiting outside the Oval Office... and there’s a table that a lot of places have where they put, like, publications... The one I noticed was not there was the New York Times." "Now, maybe it was 7 o’clock at night and maybe everyone had already taken one. I think it’s just that he does not read it. So you can put all the editorials you want in the New York Times. I just don’t think it matters." "You know what sentence never came up at the dinner? 'I read an interesting piece in the Atlantic.' ... So you have to go where the person is. This is a people person. 'People are saying.' You got to get in there and be one of the people saying because he’s not going to read it in the New York Times." It’s amazing how many Democrats still fail diplomacy 101: talk to the guy in charge. They claim to want change and screech to “oppose Trump,” yet never once attempt to be cordial or bother to pick up the phone to sway his decisions.
