You Need to Want to Win

I stumbled across this on twitter today. It's from Mark Gatiss (he of "Sherlock" fame) and he wrote...

"Why wasn't there a massively energized, angry reaction when there was a mindless prick in the White House for eight years?"

Which I thought was brilliant.

But it's because the Democrats didn't get their message out and they act as if they should be able to work with the other side; the Republicans, on the other hand, just want to win and don't care how it gets done.

You can't negotiate with someone if all they want is to get rid of you.
