Those are personality issues. There's no actual policy issues in that post. Work across party lines? Oh he tried. He's got more Republican ass on those lips than could ever be expected. They were the ones who refused to work across party lines. It got characterized the incorrect way, because Chowder Heads didn't take the time to look at who was willing to negotiate. They wouldn't budge, and Chowder Heads didn't bother to observe who wouldn't come across the aisle. Transparency? Maybe. Working across party lines? You got the wrong villain there. When you make someone get 60 %, you're gunna make people have to act like they're just another politician. Like I said, most of the complaints in that election came directly as a result of that 60% rule, but I doubt that issue was ever part of that election (other than one parasite feasting off the ugly results that rule will always produce.)
