      See, I want to go for a $1, and settle for 50c.

      Rube wants to go for a quarter, and settle for a dime. What democrats have been doing for the last 30 years. And winning all sorts of elections in the process.
      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

        No, you said going for it all instead of playing it safe and conventional, has never worked in all of history.

        I only had to go back 3 years to prove you wrong.

          I want to go for 50 cents, then when everyone is on board, because 50 cents is, well, alright we'll do that. THEN go for another 50 cents. Well, ok, 50 cents isn't that much, sure. Repeat. All of a sudden you have a couple bucks.

            Auto racing also has banking. Which is like socialism for steering because it does most the work.

                so you don't want a dime. You'll take a penny.

                You let me know when everyone is on board. Tell Mitch you said that's how it's gotta be.

                  Obama did pretty well performing that method. Then Trump went Godzilla on it. Just sayin'.

                      We're talking campaigns here, not governing. Obama excited people, here and abroad, unlike anyone since Kennedy.

                        How many Republican votes did the ACA get again?

                        How about that stimulus package? Wasn't very effective, was it? Could have used a few hundred more billion, couldn't it? Now why wasn't it bigger?

                        How much did Obama do by executive order, cause he couldn't get it passed by Congress otherwise? remember how he got attacked for it. You know, governing like a dictator?


                        Have you even watched how government has been working over the last 20 years? You're like Joe Biden talking about how cooperative and bipartisan all those Republican congressmen are gonna be once Trump is out of office.

                        As I said, incredibly......................................

                          And then pushed toward the center on every issue, lost a ton of ground but still won a second term, and then lost even more ground in terms of popularity and then Trump won (yes it was Hillary but he didn’t put her in the most enviable position either).

                          There’s literally zero evidence that bold agendas are less likely to pass than means tested third way stuff.

                            Idk, I kinda like the idea of 135 degree summer days when I’m 80.

                              Rube wants centrism. It worked so well under Obama and Clinton. So well. Meanwhile Republicans since Reagan have gone full radical on the bit and got **** done.

                                Sure, but you can start bold, and then settle somewhere in te middle. Rube's 50 cents. The problem is, Obama started in the middle on everything, and then worked ever back further to the right to get everybody on board, just as Rube wants. Take ACA. A Heritage Foundation plan that Romney pushed in Mass. 50 cents. Obama drops the public option, now we're down to 35 cents. Keeps whittling away, adding things that Republicans want, especially Olympia Snowe, dropping the more radical parts of the plan, so he can say he passed a bipartisan plan with Republicans on board. Now we're down to 20 cents, 15. Olympia says she'll vote for it if only Obama includes this. 10 cents. Bill goes to Congress. No Republican votes for it. You got your 10 cent Democrat/90 cent Republican bill passed. And they still used it to pummel your azz in the next election. Still are.

                                If they're gonna use a piece of legislation to attack you in an election, then let it at least be a piece of legislation that is simple, works well, is economical, and helps people. Not some cobbled together Rube Goldberg contraption to try to achieve bipartisan support. And if it doesn't pass? Then use the benefits that plan would have brought to millions of people to pummel their Republican azzes in the next election.

                                Christ, that's what the Republicans do, every frickin' time. And Democrats sit around moaning, oh, we don't want to upset anyone, they won't like us. Do something for people. Help them. Let them know it's you that did that for them. They'll like you just fine. Might even vote for you because of it.
