I have never seen any elected Republican willing to "Work together" with members of the Democratic party to get things accomplished that they were elected to do, represent the people who voted them into office, not just the wealthy, big corporations, or corporations. A democrat mayor Berkowitz announces Anchorage will see a $14M surplus in 2015. Some of it could be attributed to no snow.  Republicans are the only ones trying to eliminate the vote for women and minorities. There are people who can't see that Republicans are in office to further their own agenda, not the interests of the people who voted for them. Dumb and blind people are easily lead and manipulated.
