Bipartisanship - Humbug!
It's great that people who consider themselves Republican or have voted Republican are willing to give a Democratic candidate their support. However, they need to do more than that. Voters need to realize that today's GOP does not represent their interests and that the current state of the country and the world are a result of Republican successes and not their mistakes.
I don't want to hear about a candidate willing to work with Republicans. The GOP will oppose any action significant enough to fix the messes they've made while in power. Any Democratic administration that compromises with Republicans will be mediocre at best. At worst the government will just be in a holding pattern while this country, the lives of its citizens, and the state of the world all go downhill.
In my opinion the best legislation that came out of the Clinton administration was during the the short period in 1993-1994 when Democrats controlled the House,Senate, and White House.
We need a President who is willing to stand up to the Republicans and roll over them if necessary. We don't need to run every part of the Government in a partisan manner to the often illegal extent that the Republicans have but Democrats need to be less compromising on the laws that are passed if we gain a good size majority.
