AGAIN, the poster said Reagan did it. I asked for examples when Reagan said screw the Republicans I will side with the Dems..be it they were in the majority or minority
I want specific examples so I can compare.
Well, Reagan did have a massive Democratic majority in the House for the entirety of his term.
But the Democratic Party then probably had as many “conservatives” as the Republicans did. The system was rather different.
At the same time, a president with a majority in Congress running to help from the minority is a rarity.
The last great example I can think of is Bill Clinton on NAFTA.
He passed that with Republican support since it split the Dems.
The GOP in the 80s never attacked Reagan....never. And do your own research, there were plenty of instances of Reagan and O’Neill, negotiating, meeting, and working out deals. Boll Weevil democrats were also in the mix.
