If the parties get too close together they lose their identities, if they get too far apart you're not going to get a whole lot done because you almost always need to have some folks on the other side of the aisle to accomplish anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics.
Our party is united. At times, some people may have disagreements and leave, but it is not a big issue.
I think there's a lot of problems with being a two-party system.
We will face the challenges head on. We will work with both parties, across the aisle, to make our state better.
A two-party system is way too good for those two parties.
Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are.
It's very important that we unite as a party and as a country.
When you have a Senate that is 50 Democrats and 49 Republicans and one independent, it's quite obvious that the only way we are going to get something done is if we work together.
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.
Parties are not my thing; I keep it low-key.
