A caller on Breitbart Radio this morning said something poignant and dead on...

The Constitution itself became what it is because of deal-making. All of the writers had their own agenda and wanted everything they wanted in it, which would have been a disaster.

Like any good deal or negotiation, there had to be some give and take on both sides to come to an agreement on what is best for the country. If not, there would have been NO progress made, and we would have been in infinite gridlock.

I am confident in Trump’s dealmaking. Will he give SOME concessions to Dems, sure. But I know he is thinking three steps ahead of them, and whatever he would “give” them would not compare to the positive concessions he would gain.

But there was gridlock. Which is why the first ten Amendments were written. The Constitution would not have been accepted without the Bill of Rights.

They can bank on getting the lives of the unborn as earnest money.

I know you believe that to be the best way forward. It does not work for me, until I know what his non-negotiables are.

What, exactly, would he give up to win?

There needs to be some clear lines drawn as to what is off the table.
