“Compromise requires that both parties relinquish something. If your counterpart’s position is “give me this now, and I’ll take the rest later,” there is no real compromise to be had.”

And that is why there is no percentage in being ‘pragmatic’ or ‘reaching across the aisle’. When you are dealing with people who are intent on eventually defeating you, your only option is to defeat them.
