I'd like to see that bipartisanship come back that we used to have in the House of Representatives, in the Clinton years. I think there's a possibility that the voters are going to send the message that everybody running - Congress, the Senate, the presidency - that they want us to come together.

Bill Richardson

Evangelicals have, for decades, believed that the country was more conservative than not, more Christian than not. The bipartisanship on religious liberty and the civic faith of the country was conducive to that. Now they've woken up to a reality in the Obama years that this was a polite fiction.

Ben Domenech

Bill Richardson

If ever there was a time for true bipartisanship, it is today.

Brad Henry

Bipartisanship is really tough to achieve when everyone on both sides is left with a bad, bad taste in their mouths.

Campbell Brown

Necessity is the mother of bipartisanship.

Christopher Buckley

The only bipartisanship you ever see is when they finally sign a bill and everybody says, 'Gee, isn't that wonderful?'

Colin Powell

Where people are trying to split Americans from each other I want there desperately to be bipartisanship.

Elissa Slotkin

I understand that one of the purposes of bipartisanship is to cram something difficult and necessary down the American people's gullets for which neither party has the fortitude to assume full responsibility. It's a way of turning a possible gangplank into a teeter-totter.

James Wolcott

I do hope President Trump's calls for bipartisanship are genuine, and I also hope he takes the actions needed to unify the country.

Jeff Van Drew

The term bipartisanship, that's a means to an end. That's not something that I think you run on. I think you run on solutions.

John Delaney

The best way to begin genuine bipartisanship to make America stronger is to work together on the real crises facing our country, not to manufacture an artificial crisis to serve a special interest agenda out of touch with the needs of Americans.

John F. Kerry

I'm a believer in bipartisanship.

John Kasich

Too great a love for the presidency has caused Democrats to neglect state and local politics and to overly prize compromise and a futile quest for bipartisanship. It has made liberals too allergic to federalism and too shy about grassroots politics.

Joy Reid

I'm very concerned about the tone of politics in recent years. We've seen a decline in civility and bipartisanship, and a rapid increase in hostility between those who have differing opinions. I think this has led to the alienation of the public in governance, which jeopardizes democratic participation.

Kyrsten Sinema

The system requires bipartisanship.

Lee Zeldin

I'm a strong believer in bipartisanship.

Mack McLarty

Presidents should do whatever possible and practical to encourage an environment of cooperation and bipartisanship. And they should maintain a certain level of decorum, diplomacy and decency. But, at the end of the day, presidents get elected to enact change.

Mark McKinnon

It's time for political leaders across the ideological spectrum to realize that, while partisanship is understandable, hyper-partisanship is destructive to our country. We need more visionary leaders who will earnestly strive for bipartisanship and finding policy solutions that can move America forward.

Martin Luther King III

My dad's about character and bipartisanship and something greater than yourself and believing in this country and believing in the fact that we as Americans can still come together, and that's something I grew up in and feeds me every day.

Meghan McCain

I think people forget that bipartisanship is really the burden of the victor, not the loser.

Mike Huckabee
