Yes but past presidents and vice presidents negotiated with Congress, yet Trump is stumped on how to do that effectively by any other means than browbeating..But it's still has an atmosphere of dizzying proportions in D.C.I thought that was normal operation...So browbeating is not in fashion for elected officials?
Dunno, but apparently Flake thinks there is too much petty infighting in Congress and they don't want to work together.
Guess he's tired of not being able to do his job because of all the gridlock and infighting.
Actually, if you were to look at how DC has worked in the past, all the way up to about halfway through Jr.'s presidency, they actually DID work together to get things done.
Then..............under Jr. DC became infected with the "us or them" mentality because of 9/11 and the ensuing wars, and then when Obama was elected, half of Congress said that we needed to take our country back from the "liberal left", which resulted in even more division.
Trump saw the division and capitalized on it, which is why he got elected. He has no interest in uniting the country, because it's easier for him to demagogue if he can keep them divided.
