I looked up a speech Ronald Reagan made in 1985… he talked about terrorism and lowering taxes. His interactions with the press included comments about “deliberate misquote” and “fallacious”… he said opponents would filibuster… delay, put off and procrastinate.
“…lobbyists are out in force again; they’ve dug in around the Capitol building… trying to keep the special interest in and the people’s interest out.”
The only difference was that Reagan worked with and spoke to both Democrats and Republicans.
In my life time it seems President Regan did more to get the USA working together than any President.
If a President sets a tone, he did work with both parties to get things done. He did not need to but did.
