Huh? Picking a fight? Running the executive and legislative branch as the majority party and selecting someone who the opposition would oppose is picking a fight? Remind me to never share a foxhole with you.
Remind me to have you read Washington's journals, and how he, even in a position of power, deliberately avoided picking fights with other generals under his command so as not to divide. Rather brilliant. They faded out, he succeeded. And I wouldn't want to share a foxhole with you, believe me. You'd be trying to draw fire.
