That was impressive. Not only does your headline mischaracterize the Governor’s comments, but you completely omitted the reason we cannot strike a “grand bargain”. Both Bush I and Reagan engaged with the Democrats and struck grand bargains. Then the other side reneged on promised spending cuts.  This is documented reality, so forgive today’s GOP for failing to make this mistake yet again. I guess if you had noted that, it would have come off as “fair and balanced”, and we can’t have that, can we?
