Yuval on the Clean (as Opposed to Grand) Compromise

Sadly, he also explains why it probably won’t happen: The Republicans are in a bigger jam than the Democrats right now. You can see that in evil eyes and combative words of Harry Reid, for example. Still, the Republicans should always listen to Yuval. If they had followed his advice, they wouldn’t be in the bleepin’ jam now. And it’s possible that a clean compromise really would spell relief, so to speak, for everyone. It goes without saying it really won’t solve anything. But those looking for a solution should be looking to win (big-time) the next election.
