I googled republicans + "praise democrats"

Nothing came up showing any Republican praising any Democrat, let alone any of the "reaching across the aisle" crap we are getting from Clinton now, Obama in the past, and all too many others. I wouldn't be half so disgusted if there were any reciprocation whatsoever.

I think Newt once said something nice about FDR. Maybe a Republican has evenb praised JFK at some time or another. I'm willing to bet there is nothing to be found for any Democrat after that, though.

They're usually willing to praise the "Democrats" who vote with them on stupid bills.

Republicans praising Democrats is usually a good sign that those are "Democrats" rather than Democrats.

That turned up in the search. Hillary certainly wasn't praising Bush and Kissinger for supporting anything that she initiated though.
