America is going to be paying a heavy price for putting the sociopath back into the WH. I will never forget or forgive

68. The insane insistence on burning peak strength striving for bought partisanship is hobbling.

It makes us negotiate against ourselves.

It runs thorough the legislative calendar.

It waters down and even wrecks large portions of the agenda.

It makes us look both ineffective and rudderless.

It saps our side"s enthusiasm.

It drags things out in a way that allows opposition to organize, fester, and grow.

It forces us into moving goalposts which generates a muddled and confused perception of our efforts.

It allows the enemy to both fight every step tooth and nail as well as to steal credit for whatever makes it through the gauntlet.

The worst part is that there is only downside.
We do not gain votes in this exchange, we lose them.
