[B]ipartisanship means tarring and feathering politicans from both major parties.
Governing in a polarized society means, making bipartisan deals.

He loved politicians—even Republicans
When Kennedy could not get the civil rights bill passed - and he was the big liberal - Lyndon Johnson came in and it got passed, and he was the conservative and the southerner.
