That’s odd…
Obama had no difficulty meeting with governors of both parties
Why does Trump find it so hard?

That wasn’t what you said. Your topic was about getting along with people. Both Trump and Obama treat people who don’t get along with them the same.

So..Trump is snubbed by a bipartisan group of the nation's Governors----another straw on the camel's back~
Annual governors' gathering with White House unraveling after Trump excludes Democrats
The National Governors Association annual conference is unraveling after President Donald Trump did not invite some Democrats to events.apnews.com
An annual meeting of the nation’s governors that has long served as a rare bipartisan gathering is unraveling after President Donald Trump excluded Democratic governors from White House events.
The National Governors Association said it will no longer hold a formal meeting with Trump when governors are scheduled to convene in Washington later this month, after the White House planned to invite only Republican governors. On Tuesday, 18 Democratic governors also announced they would boycott a traditional dinner at the White House.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who chairs the NGA, told fellow governors in a letter on Monday that the White House intended to limit invitations to the association’s annual business meeting, scheduled for Feb. 20, to Republican governors only.
“Because NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors, the Association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program,” Stitt wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press.
The governors’ group, which is scheduled to meet from Feb. 19-21, is one of the few remaining venues where political leaders from both major parties gather to discuss the top issues facing their communities. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that Trump has “discretion to invite anyone he wants to the White House.”
“It’s the people’s house,” she said. “It’s also the president’s home, so he can invite whomever he wants to dinners and events here at the White House.”
Representatives for Sitt and the NGA didn’t comment on the letter. Brandon Tatum, the NGA’s CEO, said in a statement last week that the White House meeting is an “important tradition” and said the organization was “disappointed in the administration’s decision to make it a partisan occasion this year.”
In his letter to other governors, Stitt encouraged the group to unite around common goals.
“We cannot allow one divisive action to achieve its goal of dividing us,” he wrote. “The solution is not to respond in kind, but to rise above and to remain focused on our shared duty to the people we serve. America’s governors have always been models of pragmatic leadership, and that example is most important when Washington grows distracted by politics.”
awww, did somebody get snubbed by the national governors association?

Obama repeatedly offered a hand to Republicans
They slapped it away
You mean the ACA hand that is a lie and the rainbow lights on the white house for gay marriage.

Good example
Obama offered full participation to Republicans and included sections Republicans demanded like state run programs.
Republicans still voted against it

When he told them to “get in the back seat”. Or, when he used rhetoric about bringing guns to knife fights or “punishing our enemies and rewarding our friends.”
Wow, you are delusional. Obama didn’t get along with many members of his own party. He needs division and strife in order to win.

Maybe there's going to be food at the event, and we all know what happens when demoncrat babies and food are in the same room.
FOOD FIGHT. If it's not nailed down, they'll throw it.

Obama told Republicans to get in the back seat after Republicans started making demands after losing in a landslide
Obama’s biggest mistake in office was thinking Republicans would work with him for the good of the country
Progs control the nation. Republicans just slow it down as they are not mavericks resisting the dictating to one party who see the Rosenbergs as hero martyrs. Never trust a Prog, or he will knife you.

We are done with them. All that's done is getting them corralled into the institutions.

Demcrats boycotted a dinner, so Trump uninvited them to this ball?
Does anyone ACTUALLY CARE?
Does anyone ACTUALLY CARE?
Republican voters must understand that. In endless low voter elections, they have put in communists over many decades. And this is where we are at. And most likely will continue. Jim Crow? They are that in a different package as Karl Marx.

The National Governors Association said Wednesday that a traditionally bipartisan meeting at the White House next week is back on after invitations were extended to all of its members, even as President Donald Trump continued to rage against two of the nation’s Democratic governors and the organization’s co-chair, GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt.
The Oklahoma Republican told his fellow governors in a Wednesday letter that all members — including Democratic governors initially excludedfrom NGA’s business meeting at the White House — are invited to the event, citing a “misunderstanding in scheduling.”

“Bring a gun to a knife fight”. “Punish our enemies” - What a Uniter!
If I were Trump, I wouldn't invite a Democrat to anything other than their own hanging.
