I agree, in theory. I just think that the republicans have zero in interests in actually working with him. Just based on what I have read it sounds like he has tried on many occasions, but they come in with the attitude that they are not willing to negotiate and if they don't get their way they just abandon the talks.
In a perfect world both sides would work together, but it seems like these days they can't do anything without it being hyper politicized and turning into a major partisan event.
