The elections were a one-sided affair. What happens next shouldn’t be.
Instead, Democrats and Republicans should come together, look each other deeply in the eyes and say the three little words that time eternal has proven to be the glue that holds together important relationships.
You were right.
What three little words did you think I was going to say? Come on, Congress is not a rom-com. It only fits ...
