A) No presidential action has won bipartisan support or praise in recent years, due to intense partisan polarization.
B) The attempt may lead to more public bickering in Congress as the parties hash out differences and make compromises.
C) Party loyalty and discipline can suffer-something a president may regret later when seeking support from his or her own party.
D) Many political analysts suggest that the increasing numbers of people who call themselves independent still favor presidents who value party loyalty.
