Yep, he’s a deal maker and was gonna work with congress. He hasnt got a single dem vote and likely won’t get enough republicans. Politics is tough business. Honestly, its more difficult than building hotels.
So apparently either he failed to understand the limitations of his abilities or his ego didn't allow for it.
I will admit there is a remote chance a take it or leave O'Care in place may bring some of the hardliners around, be it really isn't a deal most Freeper's really want.
