You name it, Dems tried compromise, idiot. For example, ACA is the Nixon/Dole/Heritage plan. Every budget, sequester, immigration. You're in the Fox Rush etc news blackout.
Repubicans weren't allowed to offer any amendments to the ACA, so that's total crap.
How is a budget sequester "compromise?" Apperently dims view an cut in any program other than the Defense Dept to be a defeat. Based on that position, then every increase in any program other than the Defense Dept is a defeat to the GOP. So that makes it Dims 3000 to GOP 1.
When did Obama compromise on immirgation? I must have missed it.

Wiki:
On January 28, 2013, a
bi-partisan group of eight Senators, known as the "Gang of Eight" announced principles for comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). The Senators involved include:
Charles Schumer of New York,
Dick Durbin of Illinois,
Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and
Michael Bennet of Colorado, and Republicans
John McCain of Arizona,
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,
Marco Rubio of Florida, and
Jeff Flake of Arizona.

The policies envisioned by the Senators include the following provisions:
- A citizenship path for illegal immigrants already in the United States contingent on certain border security and visa tracking improvements. The plan provides for permanent residence for illegal immigrants only after legal immigrants waiting for a current priority date receive their permanent residence status and a different citizenship path for agricultural workers through an agricultural worker program.
- Business immigration system reforms, focusing on reducing current visa backlogs and fast tracking permanent residence for U.S. university immigrant graduates with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math also known as the STEM fields.
- An expanded and improved employment verification system for all employers to confirm employee work authorization.
- Improved work visa options for low-skill workers including an agricultural worker program.[46]
In April 2013, according to
Congressional Quarterly, the existence of a bipartisan group of lawmakers working to reform immigration was revealed during a question and answer session at a
Ripon Society event with House Speaker
John Boehner (R-OH).

On April 16, 2013, the "Gang of Eight" in the United States Senate introduced S.744, the long-awaited Senate version of the immigration reform bill proposed in congress.
[48] The bill was a product of bipartisan cooperation among Senate lawmakers, business groups, labor unions, agricultural interests, and immigration advocates, who negotiated many compromises resulting in an architecture for reform – including a path to citizenship for eleven million illegal immigrants, an temporary worker program, increased visa numbers for skilled foreign workers, and a nationwide employment eligibility verification system.

On June 27, 2013, the
United States Senate approved S.744, known as the
Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 in a historic 68-to-32 vote.
[50] The immigration reform bill was sent to the
United States House of Representatives, but has not since then been brought to the House floor for debate or an up-or-down vote.

It'agreed it would pass if Boehner allowed a vote, dingbat. Change the channel.
