What I'm naively optimistic for is a center Republican to come forward with a deal with center house Dems and a few center Reps and create a coalition governments.
Basically trade a few committee seats and offer a floor vote on a couple Dem bills.
They don't even have to guarantee passage. And everyone can win the messaging when the bills don't pass. GOP can say they are "fighting DEM spending and waste" DEM can say "they are trying to make your life better but those dirty GOP are ruining it"
No you see, those weren't beheaded toddlers. Those were insurgents with dwarfism that took their own lives after being humanely arrested. ( /s just in case)
Not saying you're wrong, butbwhere are they saying that? I'd love to have it has a back pocket argument.
