I don't. I want leadership that can move forward by bridging differences and finding ways to reach a positive, mutually acceptable result. flexibility is a strength, not a weakness.

it's all about results, not who wins and who loses.

at least to some of us.
if you are wrong, then there is no compromise and middle ground. Halfway between wrong and right is not generally acceptable.

You can't negotiate a middle ground with Iran's policy on Israel. You can't negotiate a middle ground between Obama's socialism and the tradition of capitalism. They are ideas in opposition.
