Re: “It is not possible to be pure.”

Only for Conservative coalitions.

The Democrats achieve political purity all the time...

ObamaCare.

Non-enforcement of immigration laws.

100% Pure Left Supreme Court appointments since 1962.

Close to 100% Leftist Purity in education, government jobs, and every major news organization.

I can list 20 more examples off the top of my head, if you are interested.

That’s as WE might see it, but again to be equitable, one would have to ask Democrats to rate US. We might be surprised to find that we are seen as a more formidable unity than we would ever expect while we are busy complaining about the weak GOP sister of the day.

Silly. i am talking about passing laws and not how one governs. Non enforcement and purity in education, etc is not lawmaking. You are confused. I am writing about passing laws.

The only reason Obamacare passed is because the Dems had 60 senators at that time. It was filibuster proof. The republicans have only 52 senators. Most bills need 60 votes.

Reagan compromised ALL the time to get part of what he wanted.

Frankly, you are unrealistic. Governing is hard and difficult. Now that you are just discovering that fact of life, you should discover that part of something is better than nothing. Reagan said that all the time and you should learn that, too.

TY.

I love this reasoning. IOW: “It’s not possible...to adhere and follow the Constitution.”. Come ‘18, they will UN-apologetically, and w/o shame, run on tax cuts, illegals, the wall, debt/deficit.

Yet, these sheeple have little to no compunction to pull the lever for the same critter year after year.

Party over politics. Politics over principles.
