Michelle Bachman: I want honest opinions

no, the question is about compromise, and he doesn't answer it, he uses the cnn poll to back up the ccb plan suggesting 2/3rds of americans support it and there's no time to compromise, but the poll also shows that 2/3rds support different options like revenue increases. if the poll shows the same level of support for another option then the question about why aren't they willing to compromise when there is the same level of support for a different option is valid.

And again if this was something different then there would be a reason for compromise, but again when you have the vast majority of the public supporting what you already have, there is no need to change it. The poll was for CCB as it currently was, and the question for CCB as it currently was shows a clear majority of support. But you know what? You know what the key point is? It's that the CNN anchor did not even acknowledge he was right, and that their poll showed that CCB was supported by the vast majority of people. And at the end of the day, that is the point.
