I’m afraid (as cynical as I am) that you may be right. Repubs should have played their cards better and aimed for a HIGHER amount....then negotiate.
They don’t even know how to haggle!!!!!
Don’t know if true, but just read on HOT AIR the pubs caved...bummer if true!!! Ball-less gutless asses!!
so true - never start negotiating with the offer you want to end on...
