Are Voters Just Rooting for Clothes?

Fans of the opposite party are not against the President because he doesn’t agree with them on the issue. They are against the President because he plays for the “wrong” team. And unless he is willing to change teams ... , he can try to “reach across the aisle” all day and he will never make the other team’s fans happy.
