Excuse me? He often claims he worked across the aisle in his career in the Illinois State senate, and claims that he is the end to partisanship because he can work with the other side. Working with the other side is easy when you don't intend to take into account anything they have to offer, and based on his voting record, I think it's pretty safe to say he won't take anything they offer seriously. Listen? Sure. I'll listen to anyone if I am planning on just discounting their words later.

Also, that 90% is INCREDIBLY distorted. That includes votes like "We declare today national left handed missing a big toe WWII veterens day in honor of Joe Nobigtoe". Things that are automatic yes votes.
