Compromise or Capitulation? |
|
It's said that a compromise is an agreement where both parties are upset by the end result.
I've heard it said that capitulation is when one side surrenders with minimal fight and are given just enough of a crumb in order to save a little face.
This compromise sure has the feel of capitulation.

3. Republicans don't seem too upset about anything in this deal... |

...so, I am guessing they think they got the best of it.
