46. What are you talking about? Reagan presided over a Congress that was
controlled by Democrats!

And, during Clinton's tenure, there were some reasonable Republicans who were willing to reach across the aisle like Dick Lugar and Bob Dole. Those moderate, reasonable Republicans no longer exist. And remember, the Republicans voted in lockstep to block Clinton's budget bill/stimulus package in 1994. And you remember what happened next? The Republicans diverted attention to Hillary's health care reform proposal and ran on that. They used it as a platform to defeat the Democrats and that's exactly what happened.
