No party has had control of the White House and congress with a super majority in 50 years so your argument is not relevant. Some of the most significant legislation has passed without control of government and a super majority. Of course those were the day when the two sides formed coalitions to pass legislation and there was no guarantee that members would vote the party line.
John McCain was not the only the maverick whose has refused to follow his party blindly. There have been many on both sides over the years. Without them, congress just becomes a rubber stamp for the leaders in each house. They are the last vestige of independent thinking and bipartisanship.
Obama had 60 votes to pass the ACA for a few weeks if memory serves. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
You're right about the rest though...
Obama paid a huge sum of money to several senators in order to pass that boondoggle. Without those bribes his legislation was doa
That is how governing has worked since we founded the nation. You give this; you get that. Instead of negotiating, you have a guy declaring a national emergency where there clearly isn't any and looting the treasury.
How does one negotiate with people that refuse to negotiate?
Perhaps you can start by not ambushing them during a photo op as your blob did. And did it to the two most powerful Democrats in the ******* world!!! That would be a good idea. Not calling Senators names in your twitter tantrums….
And of course you have to be trustworthy to have any credibility. Trump has none since he’s a known liar.
As for the lawmakers you haven’t alienated...
Biden did a lot of the negotiating with the Republicans on several issues instead of Obama—he had relationships.
A lot of the government is built on that. Calling people names like you’re a 3rd grader might satisfy idiots like yourself but it doesn’t gain you any traction where it counts.
