I agree, but the idea of good-faith political compromises then may have seemed realistic. I would surely accept a JFK democrat these days. I suspect he got suckered. We’ve been witness to how the Ryan/McConnell GOP tried suckering Trump on the Wall, that omnibus spending bill.

I'm with you and it shows you how far everything has declined when we're willing to make concessions and accept traditionally liberal leaders as a comforting option to what we currently have.

The inner Republican Party never wanted to resolve illegal immigration just as it doesn’t want to restrain abortion let alone just stop giving tax money to planned parenthood.
