re: #57 Stanley Sea
What if it’s as simple as Tip O’Neill et al wanted to work with him, and the current GOP doesn’t? It takes two to tango.
if he makes excuses every time he doesn’t get his way, he is destined to fail. he needs to “man up” and make them WANT to work with him. And the way to do it is to have good ideas and also be smart enough to be talked out of his bad ideas when warranted.
