The Progressives are always wanting the Repubs to "Reach across the isle" and it should be added and vote our way. The Repubs need to stop doing that and if for any reason they like the Bill being voted on just don't vote. The Progressive have had the majority so your reaching across the isle just weaklings the party. The Progressive "Deal making" has got to stop.No offense candy, but you have not yet demonstrated an ability to banter politely with me or anyone on the right that I have seenNot worried about internal strife. Those who claim to be Angry return their elected representative about 90+% of the time. The #1 way a congressman/senator loses their job is retirement.
In short, those who are "angry" are frankly too dumb to know what they are fighting for.
I am not talking about voting patterns or the problems surrounding perpetual incumbancy - that problem persists in highly liberal areas just as much as it does in conservative enclaves
I am asking if there is still enough common ground for liberal and consevative Americans to join together in harmony and with a commonality of purpose
And if there is, where do we start?
So what have Republicans gained by not reaching across the aisle?
Tax cuts?
Balanced Budget?
Their Healthcare Plan?
A Wall?
