.@ron_fournier, this is crux of issue: D proposals on many major problems contain concessions by both sides; most GOP proposals don't.
@ThePlumLineGS Honestly not sure. I know Ds *talk* a better game. Haven't seen more *actual* compromise out of them.

@ron_fournier But what, to you, constitutes real willingness to compromise? You are saying that not even an *offer* of a compromise counts. -
.
@ThePlumLineGS No. B/c I don't trust what pols say, vow, *offer.* You trust what one side says. I trust neither. Let's leave it there. -
@ron_fournier If I offer you deal in which we both make concessions, & you say "no, do it entirely my way," I'm more compromising than U are -
@ThePlumLineGS Oh, we're talking about you and me? Yes, you're willing to compromise ;) OK, I'm done for now. Really.
