Re: POTUS 45:55: Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!
No question that if you are dealing with unreasonable people it is hard to remain reasonable. But I think if you want to be effective, you at least have to try.
Again, I'd start within my own party. I don't see any point in attacking those supposedly on the same team as me, at least not personally.
If I'm a freshman Congressman who is a Republican, I'm not trying to build relationships with Pelosi. She isn't going to do me any good. I'm starting with those in power on my own side, and the newbies and grinders on the other side. Those are the ones who you have the best chance of picking off for something you want to accomplish, and they are the ones that 12 years from now can do you some favors, after they come to power.
