, Bacon went on to say such a position is “a nonstarter” because Republicans have been given a “mission” by voters to cut spending.
The problem is, Bacon’s description is spectacularly wrong for reasons he really ought to understand. Not to put too fine a point on this, but good-faith talks among officials are literally impossible when one side is holding a gun to the head of the economy during the process. I don’t imagine Bacon will see what I’ve written here, but I would ask him to consider a hypothetical scenario from the recent past. It’s early 2019, and a new Democratic majority in the House is getting to work alongside a Republican-led Senate and a Republican White House. House Democratic leaders know that Congress will soon have to raise the debt ceiling, which gets them thinking about their priorities — and their demands.
That same relatively moderate House Democrat adds soon after, “Donald Trump has to also negotiate. He can’t say he refuses to negotiate. That’s a nonstarter, because the mission we’ve been given is to help Americans with their health security. When parties say, ‘My way or the highway,’ it just does not work.”
