The 18% who think leaders should stick to their principles is a new low 28% take a neutral position on the issue 44% of Republicans and 62% of Democrats favor compromise
There’s no doubt democrats have been more willing to compromise than Republicans. But compromise is what the people are looking for. Especially independents. They want the two major parties to work together, when they don’t, they kick out the party in power and replace them in hopes that the former out of power party will try to compromise. It never works out that way.
Now think back, what if both parties had different leaders who were willing to compromise. You’d have a deal like Daschle and Lott came up for a previous 50-50 divided senate. Not where one party tries to push their entire agenda through by the vote of the VP. Something like this is what should have happened this time around. It might of if we hadn’t entered today’s modern political era of polarization, the great divide along with the super, mega, ultra-high partisanship.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
