Sit them down in front of the cameras and say "Hey! I put what you guys wanted in the bill, so what's the deal?"<br /><br />Republicans want an all or nothing situation. Look at health care - they liked some aspects but not others. Same for Democrats. In essence, you have a bill that nobody is happy with but a little bit for everybody - bipartisanship...<br /><br />Democrats needs to grow some balls and just put out legislation that they know the right wont like, and only because they know that even with concessions, the right still won't like them...Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492761988793782893noreply@blogger.com
