Good point. He seems rather a-political in many ways ... willing to work with whomever he needs to in order to get what he wants. I think if he were president, he'd be above the R and D fighting and be a president of all Americans. I'm tired of having an ultra-political president.

I do not think one can effectively govern by not winning over the other side to one’s opinion. Our republicans have never tried to win over democrats, they just lay down or dig their heels in. If you dig your heels in, I don't see how you can expect to convince anyone — which makes it seem more like show than a sincere desire to achieve a legislative outcome.

Yup, that’s exactly what Reagan did. He brought others to his side. Sometimes he had to compromise (amnesty), which in some cases is ok and others not. He should never have compromised on that, and I know Trump will not!
