The base that votes for him, in large part, is voting not for specific policies, but for «can do», «win at all costs», attitude, after being saddled for 2 decades with - using Trump's terminology - «losers» (specific ways of losing vary - either letting the opposition
dictate the terms of discourse and the struggle,
by refusing to use all available tactics; or always folding in
negotiations like GOP in the House kept doing with Obama; or simply not getting desired outcomes - and specifics are largely irrelevant to the overall sentiment).
The most common way to bend the collaborative process is to use the structure of four - way conferences common in the collaborative process, but retain the positional
negotiation model that is common in the adversarial context with the focus on reaching a result
dictated by law and the statutes.
