And the Affordable Care Act passed with zero Republican votes. There is no working across the aisle. Hasn't been for a generation.

I am vote blue no matter who in this election - a sentiment I would normally abhor. Why are Democrats bickering rather than going after Trump. There is plenty, besides impeachment, to go after him.
