Watching Grapes of Wrath with Henry Fonda. Good movie to watch for these days.

I don't think he gains anything by giving it up. What does he gain?.

I have no idea what the contents of the negotiations are. I thought we were discussing whether he completely loses his base should he agree to cuts in SS and medicare. And the reelection. On that score, to repeat, it depends on who his opponent is and how much the cuts are.
