Democrats never compromise. Have you ever noticed that?
That's because when they "compromise", it's when they overstate their demands so that half-way (or, any-way for that matter) they fulfill their anti-liberty anti-property-rights anti-constitutional demands.
They do compromise. However the compromise to their advantage. For instance they will open up the negotiations by saying they want to increase the budget by twenty percent. They will then settle for a ten percent increase.
They will not even discuss cutting the budget. They are OUTRAGED if anyone even mentions that.
As long as we let them frame the discussion we are always negotiating for half of our loaf and never for any of their loaf.
