It’s important to be able to make deals, however the GOP congress people spent too much. They were more interested in getting reelected by delivering pork to their districts / states.

There were other factors in why we lost congress:

— Inability to articulate why we should be in Iraq.

— Losing the swing vote 2-1.

— Stay at home “conservatives”

To whatever extent number three has any truth to it, that too can be directly traced to the dealmaking you’re so hot on.
