You can call it compromise, but how do you think Trump would play it in his rallies? Total victory over the loser Democrats. I mean, he'll say that anyway, but it'll seem less false if they have compromised with him.
And recall with whom you are proposing to seek a compromise. Trump has opened concentration camps and apparently thinks that only white Americans belong in America.As for the second part of your post, your plan not only relies on Congressional Republicans turning on Trump, but also on McConnell. lol
In order to stay in office themselves, yes. Do you think that the GOP has any more loyalty to Trump than Trump has to them?
Trump spins everything as a total win, he spun caving during the shutdown as a total win. Some people believe him when he goes on like that, most don't give a shit. Refusing to get things done because Trump likes to bloviate is unacceptable. He does enough damage himself, no point in doing more on his behalf.
Of course the GOP itself isn't loyal to Trump, but the Republican base absolutely is. The Reps aren't going to do something to upset their base at this point, like staging a revolt against a Republican White House and their own Congressional leadership.
I'd be fine with beefing up border security and like, in exchange for funds to give detained migrants better living conditions, especially the children, and better handling of asylum claims.
