If the Republican Party worked with The Prez instead of against him, they'd get better ratings

Look at Chris Christie, his ratings are through the roof after working with President Obama, while just about every single governor wh has worked against the President will be lucky to be reelected.

Congress itself has such a low opinion, why? Because the only thing that they've been up to of the past two years is trying to make the President's life miserable.

The election itself was huge spanking for the GOP because they went up against this President.

They're a declining party now… All they have to do is get on President Obama's bandwagon… It'll turn that thing way around.

Republicans oppose President Obama today at their peril… In four years, opposing Hillary Clinton won't do them any more favors.

Thereby allowing us the joy of laughter at long last. Their gerrymandering ways have put some in a position that is untenable. Primaries are also dangerous territory for any Republican who wants to cooperate with the Democrats who are, after all, the real enemy. Purity is the order of the GOP day. Christie will likely win re-election but with a purple majority. Third party challenges are more of a worry to them than to us. Let's enjoy this period. These are the days, my friend. They will not last forever, but you have to savor the moment while you can.

Ask Americans - "If the GOP worked together with President Obama would you have a better opinion of the GOP?"

I tend to think that Americans would answer yes.
