I see the most likely party being added would be the Libertarians.

He did, but he was also willing to compromise. He proposed A when the Republicans wanted Z and both sides moved toward M. I would like to see more of this. The joke is, when he did that, people accused him of waffling. Compromise is what it should all be about. We are more polarized right now than I've seen in the few decades that I've been paying attention and honestly, I think that's what is hurting us. Everybody is so worried about not letting the other side win that nothing constructive gets done.
