We've answered the question. I'll say it again. The GOP will not come to the center through negotiation. You seem to think a less Liberal Democratic Leader in the House would help the Democrats to negotiate with the GOP. That is a false assumption, because the GOP doesn't negotiate. They are forced (and shamed) into doing things. What the President needs to do (to help his own party) is have votes taken on issues that the majority of voting Americans disagree with the GOP on. That's the only way to get the GOP to "deal." If he does try to negotiate with the GOP, it will be him giving in to them. They will give him zip. So, this "negotiation" should only be done on issues where the Majority of American Voters are against the Democrats. This tax extention stuff is not one of those issues. He needs to make the GOP vote against extending the Middle Class tax break.
