It seems like in the past there were always some people on the opposing side that were willing to work with the other party. For example, Newt worked with Clinton. Right now it seems like there are none of those people and we are starting to see that if you do work with the president you get primaried. Ask Cantor how well agree with the president on the need for immigration reformed worked out for him.
