It is a truism that politicians who refuse to compromise seldom win and hold on to office for the simple reason that the real world is complex and no two people will have entirely compatible sets of positions on the vast array of issues. Get the best you can and then work on refining your position later. All or nothing will usually get you nothing.

At least SOMEBODY gets it.

Hell, I don't agree with myself 100 percent of the time.
