"Unlike the Reagan and Bush Administrations, with but one exception, the Clinton administration failed to reach out to Republicans in creating a new team, and eventually paid a political price"

This quote by Richard V. Allen suggests that the Clinton administration was not as successful as the Reagan and Bush Administrations in developing a merged group. The Clinton administration stopped working to reach out to Republicans and build a union, which eventually had a negative political effect. This remains in contrast to the Reagan and Bush Administrations, which were able to develop an unified group with just one exception. This recommends that the Clinton administration was not as effective in developing an unified group, and that this absence of unity had a negative political impact. The quote suggests that the Reagan and Bush Administrations were more successful in developing an unified team, which the Clinton administration need to have taken a similar method.
