I never said ‘go along to get aling.’ why are you misquoting me, then attacking me for it. it’s not very honest.

How is drawing someone to their side capitulating? I feel like I’m in 1984 with the double speak. Reagan drew people to his side, he had lots of cross-over voters and got congress to go along with his ideas. If that’s your definition of capitulating, then it becomes a good thing. (it’s not my definition)

Because you misrepresented me.

You think getting along is always capitulating...

When that's not what I said.

"... alienated from the "go along to get along" crowd..."

I made no comment that could be misconstrued as denying that Reagan was a leader who drew people to his side. And I would suggest that, if Cruz becomes President, Congress will "go along with his ideas". Because Mitch McConnell will quickly be superseded as majority leader by somebody like Jeff Sessions.

Are we square now?
