It's really quite simple: you kick their asses and then make them compromise with you. Why is this so hard for Republicans? Are they so desperate to be liked by the establishment media (that will always detest them, no matter what they do)? Are their spouses ignoring them? Were they abused as children? Winning feels good, honest. You guys really ought to try it sometime before doing the usual French Army impression.
I’ve never been able to understand the Republicans go along to get along mentality.
