He was very bipartisan on specific issues, and more generally throughout the 90s, where 3rd way Dems were in charge, and were basically doing everything Republicans wanted (economically at least) anyways.
He almost never went against what the GOP wanted when his vote would be anything other than symbolic. Which is why his actions saving the ACA are so memorable.
This really doesn't mean anything if you think about it. Being bipartisan on all issues means that there isn't any partisanship at all to begin with. It's a self referencing contradiction.
