There is no meeting "half-way" - there is no room for compromise.

How do you compromise with a racist or a misogynist? How do you meet them "half-way"?

How do you compromise with indecency and dishonesty?

How do you meet "half-way" with someone whose intent is to destroy you?

The answer is, you don't. You cannot sacrifice your principles and your long held beliefs simply to show you are willing to compromise with the "other side". Compromise is a two-way street and surrender is not part of the deal.

Democrats are in a battle for the soul of America and they must go full-throttle into battle. There is no other option. Those that would destroy our country must be defeated.

...because, in return, they get a taxcut and Supreme Court appointments they like. That is a helluva price to pay. They made a deal with the devil and they must be defeated.
