simply will not work with the Democrats. To them it is either all their way or nothing

If Hillary runs and wins it will not be better, perhaps even worse. You do recall how she was treated when she tried to work with them for Healthcare reform? There was absolutely no compromise with them

As far as bill clinton, the only reason he was able to "work" with the republicans it was on their agenda, not the Democrats, like deregulation, NAFTA, welfare reform, etc.

A lot of things done under BBill Clinton hurt a lot of people, and set us up for the financial meltdown because he signed the Republican agenda at the time, which started with Reagan. The S&L crisis, all kinds of things which were part of the Republican agenda and signed by Bill Clinton, which almost sent us into a depression
