look, i think the results of the midterms in some ways were the american electorate saying, democrats, you can no longer do anything just with democratic votes. republic republicans, you can no longer just stand on the sidelines, throw rocks and say no to everything. so each party has one house. and the american public was saying, you know whether you re sitting together, we definitely want you working together, and hopefully tonight will be an indication, just like the results of the lake duck session show, that when you work together you can get great things done and let s do more of that going forward. governor tim kaine, great to talk to you today. appreciate your time. you bet. the president, my big question today, how much is the president willing to risk with his base in order to win cooperation from republicans? how much of that will we see tonight? we re talking to our political strategists about that later this hour. i would love to hear your thoughts on twitter, facebo
