Big Fat Village Win-Win

I'm getting that everbody understands, at least the leaders, understand that they need to get a deal. That the American people want a deal. What's interesting though, Wolf, is that when you talk to people, the Republican base, as we were just talking about, is ok with no compromise. It's the Democrats who who really want to compromise.

What we are seeing is two parties who can't even agree on what they disagree on. And that's because the politics are kind of interesting. Republicans agree that it's all about spending, that's what it is all about in the Republican Party. The Democrats are saying, "we're ok on the spending" but it's about the social issues. I was talking to a Democratic pollster who said to me, "look, these social issues work for us." They were just out in the field with a poll and he said to me, "on these social issues like Planned Parenthood, for example, we win with young voters, we win with suburban women and by a 2-1 margin independent voters do not want to defund Planned Parenthood. That is why you are hearing so much about the social issues, because that's their political sweet spot.
