It sounds like what you're saying is that you'll vote for any Republican that leans Democrat.

> I have yet to see any good faith efforts to govern on the part of Republicans

That sounds super partisan.

> Republican's primary purpose in life is to grab more power

At this point, I've heard both parties say that about the other.

Democrats introduce legislation designed to, they think, help Americans. Republicans block that legislation.

The one major piece of legislation passed and signed into law in the past 4 years by Republicans, who controlled all of the government for 2 of those years, was a giant, unfunded, tax break for the rich. That is it.

Can you provide any evidence to the contrary? I'm willing to believe that my news are partial...

Is there any indication that the GOP is going to seek consensus with the next administration?
