George Will: In the End, Americans for Bipartisanship Will Recoil in Horror at Cromnibus

WALLACE: “OK, George, final question. Less than a minute left. The final passage, 56 senators voted to keep the government funded. 32 Democrats, 24 Republicans. I mean, that’s the making of a bipartisan governing coalition.”
WILL: “Yes, and Americans who are clamoring for bipartisanship are going to get a good look at it and recoil in horror, probably, but that’s just the nature of democracy. The transaction costs of democracy are large, wasteful, messy, but it’s our system.”
WALLACE: “So, do you think that we’re going to see some bipartisan compromises, actual legislation, business getting done in Washington?”
WILL: “I do. I think because the most important committee, the Ways and Means Committee, is in the hands of a grownup, Paul Ryan, and I think he’ll move it forward.”
