delicate of balancing acts. pz the president is doing the same thing. it s just that maybe they haven t been as vocal this morning as they have been in the past. what we re talking about here is a true compromise in the sense that there are if all goes as planned with the white house and the house speaker, there will be no votes on the left, and there will be no votes on the right. they are going to need the majorities to be gotten in the middle by democrats and republicans. the chip roys of the world are furious. you heard him say that. i spoke to a senior republican house member this morning who said the feeling among the house leadership is that there are not enough people who want to has collate their leaders both the president and the speaker in order to take this todown.
