5. The Bill Cinton/Eisenhower/Wilson paradigm

is the "co opting" President. They seek to take elements of the opposing party's agenda and incorporate it into their agenda. Nixon, though he was clearly divisive, also ogoverned as a classic co-optor. He went to China, created Food Stamps and brought about Wage and Price controls. Clinton, of course, fought for welfare reform. Co optors are usually re elected handily.
