The Dictator does not need nor want a willing partner. Why would the Democrats need a partner when they have the governorship, supermajorities in the legislature, the courts and the media. The Dictator doesn’t want a GOP partner, all he wants is a GOP he can bash and blame

The poor Dictator! Government should never have to cut anything from it’s budget ever!
