is because I think he acts out of an incomplete understanding of the past 60 years. I think he is highly influenced by the reagan era rewrites of history. At times he seems unable to learn the lessons of even recent history. He witnessed the Clinton problems with the new republicans, hired staff that worked in that administration, and then does exactly the wrong things based on that. He seems to dream of the "golden era" of the 50's when compromise and cooperation was a productive way to govern. That hasn't been the case since bush one.

See this to help understand his motives here. This post is a really valuable piece of research. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1540315
