I know you typed this semi-tongue in cheek, but you actually reveal the liberal mindset on "compromise" - "my way or nothing".
And an over-entitled senator who feels so important and powerful that he can chase and harass another citizen for how she voted through a restaurant in full view of the public is not a rational nor reasonable person to expect actual compromise. Obama's lack of vision gave us the horror that is Obamacare. You still own it since the GOP failed to fix it.
All those voters are going to really love Obamacare in it's full glory next year.
It's less than 70 days into Trump's presidency. This issue will come up again- but I suspect it will be in a position of greater strength for the GOP when it finally does. The Dems that lose their 2018 seats can find company with the Freedom Caucus brethren who got primary'd.
