With respect, it looked like a "try" in many cases but consider his decades in politics and knowing likely outcomes of any given proposal. Then consider his best of the best, Ivy League-educated cabinet, advising him on every chess move. If you don't look at both sides, you might find yourself in a disingenuous ruse.
I tried but what could I do?
How could I have known Joe Manshun would say no?
We didn't have a filibuster proof majority (which we could have eliminated with a simple rule change like we did with the debt ceiling- but oddly didn't for infrastructure).
