Yes, Reagan had to compromise. But when he was president, that meant getting something in return. When Boehner and McConnell compromise, it means giving up without getting anything. How can you be in the majority and end up far on the short end of the stick?
And when you hear a liberal saying that he wants to compromise with the establishment, that means conservatives and the country are going to get screwed.
Well, politically, I wouldn't put Reagan in the same boat as those two a-holes for sure.
My point was compromises were made.
Reagan compromised to accomplish a greater good.
McConnell and Boehner.....well, they just sell out the nation, backstab conservatives....you know..the GOPe playbook.
Sorry if I clumsily lumped those together but I think you get my point.
