I know that presidents will always campaign for their parties and ask the public to send members of the president’s party to congress to help him accomplish his goals. But have we ever had a president who was so righteously partisan that he would demonize the entire opposing party as being enemies of the state? That he would consider himself president of the Republicans rather than of Americans? It is astounding to me – still – that he has such contempt for differing viewpoints.

Just venting my disbelief. I'd love to see quotes from Clinton/Bush 41/Reagan/Carter/Ford/Nixon that are this bad. I guess the closest would be the Johnson mushroom cloud...still unbelievably perverse.
