Quote:Mrs. Clinton would even schmooze differently than the past few presidents have. Not one to do business over golf or basketball, she would bring back the intimate style of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Lyndon B. Johnson, negotiating over adult beverages. Picture a steady stream of senators, congressmen and other leaders raising a glass and talking policy in the Oval Office with her and her likely chief of staff, John D. Podesta, as her husband pops in with a quick thought or a disarming compliment.

Deeply confident that she would perform better as the president than as a political candidate, Mrs. Clinton wants to pursue a whole new approach at the White House to try to break through years of partisan gridlock, according to a dozen campaign advisers and allies who described her goals and outlook. From policy goals and personnel to her instinct for patiently cultivating the enemy, Mrs. Clinton thinks she would be a better dealmaker than President Obama if she finds willing partners on the other side.

Not that I think any bipartisanship will come out of a hypothetical Hillary administration, nor do I think much of anything good will come out of it even if she does. But to her slight credit, at least she's saying that she's willing to work with the GOP, I don't recall Obama ever saying anything like this on the campaign trail.

Hitlery got along as a senator with republicans who hated her in the 90's. They were very surprised by her. I think she'll actually get gov't working again. Mostly republican stuff but less gridlock.

Gridlock is good.

What's the over/under on impeachment proceedings for as yet unknown shenanigans?

2 years? 3?

Gridlock is good.

Long term? No it isn't.

Depends on the issue I guess. On budgets I agree with you but Most if the time its a good thing. Passing new laws is supposed to be hard, thus the balance of power and 3 separate branches of govt. We have plenty of laws as it stands.

Histerly will never be impeached.

Pantsuit wearing grandmas do no wrong.

I say three. If the Dems take the House, Republicans will take it back in '18, and then game on.

People act like laws can't be changed. We are human. Make the best laws that you can and change them as necessary.
