Legislative compromise depends on the honor of the majority not to rescind what was agreed to.

Make them reclaim at least a little of their honor by making this pledge.

A barometer reading of future defeat gives them an opening to do so.

I want the government to open. I want as much of "old" normalcy wherever I can find it.

Trumpism is over. Say it Republicans.
