There are Republicans we can deal with, and if any of them were in power, there might be hope. For example, both Hatch and Graham have histories of being able to work across the aisle. McConnell? No way, fuck him. Hypocritical lying ass. Ryan? Total ass, can't be trusted. Trump's team?! [uncontrollable laughter.]

There are Republican asses and Democratic asses. The kind of people who want to legislate are usually willing to compromise, because that is the essence of the job. That's not the problem. The issue is, there are enough Republican voters who will punish Republican legislators for bipartisanship. Republicans have to worry about getting primaries from the right. Democrats haven't had to, though maybe that is starting to change.
