I know. Definitely one of Obama’s mistakes for sure.

I don’t know that it was a mistake. It’s sort of cliche, but the president is supposed to represent everyone, and so it makes sense that someone taking the job seriously would at least try to work with people in the opposing party. In those early days of the GOP losing its mind, there was still a chance that they could have not gone over the edge - hell, the ACA was basically their own plan, written by the Heritage Foundation in the 90s.

But after a decade of the GOP being completely out of its mind, the next Democratic president is going to have to make them show that they can be trusted.
