Willingness to negotiate might help the Republican Party

Where did the diplomacy in our politics go? Negotiation is crucial to get the most accomplished while keeping the majority of the people content.

I think the GOP would be wise to play ball with President Barack Obama on his Supreme Court nominee, as the Republican Party may need a helping hand after their own internal debacle ends.

A willingness to negotiate would almost certainly alleviate some of the divisive partisan politics as well.
