The “Art of the deal”??

This will work quite well in a business arena where both parties can see gaining something and are willing to give something in order to gain it.

Not so in politics. The dems want to gain everything and want Americans to lose everything. This includes the GOPe collaborators.

Much swamp draining needs to occur before Trump’s agenda will succeed.

No, you aren’t understanding. In business, both sides do NOT always “gain” and both sides (even if they don’t get it it) are usually trying for 100% victory. They may have to settle.

Politics is not different. What is different is that the negotiator in business-—a manager, or even a CEO-—has to report to a board or someone higher up. Congressmen report to the people . . . but only every two years, and many of them are almost 100% isolated from the people. That’s what is different. All you can do is make them irrelevant, or buy those particular people off. You can’t threaten them with “unelection.”
