some bipartisanship and to come up with a solution to the broken system. it would take it off the plate for 2016 which i think you all would probably be happy about, republicans. well it needs to get done and frankly the window is very narrow. forget 14 or 16. if it doesn t get done it may get put on the shelf for a long time. it raises a challenge that the republican party has. they have some big entertainment celebrities, political entertainers on their side of the aisle that i think could prove to be really challenging for the republican party. donald trump. donald trump, you think about radio talk show host that we could name a few, who have the potential to derail those republicans who want to work. they are the first to lay down threats about who they will support and won t support and the first to wield that bat of anti-cooperation or obstructism. i don t think that is going to be as big a problem if people are willing to sit down at the table and discuss things wi
