A lot of pundits and people are saying that the 50-50 election is a mandate for bipartisanship. It is no such thing. It is a reflection of a sharply and evenly divided electorate, not a call for bipartisanship. This election is a reflection of acute partisanship, and that's a good thing. And I don't mean the bitterness and the hostilities and the unwillingness to compromise when I talk about partisanship.
Partisanship is a good thing.
Voters ought to go into a voting booth and express themselves on a whole range of issues. A partisan divide is not bad, it's good. It reflects the honest opinions of a free people. Reform the initiative process. The initiative process has become an abomination.
