Its Time To Stop Negotiating With A Party That Is Not Interested In Governing

The Editorial Board of the NYT has decided that it no longer makes any sense for the president to play the negotiation game with Congress.  It provides several examples of GOP tactics which demonstrate that the GOP is more interested in obstructing government than it is in developing bipartisan solutions to critical problems that we face.  The list would be much longer if it included GOP tactics that have prevented the president from filling vacancies in many federal offices.  Our system of government does not work under these conditions.  Elections only matter to the GOP when they are placed in charge of the government.
