Halperin: It’s Now A Matter Of Negotiating The GOP ‘Terms Of Surrender’

It’s victory for the Democrats. Now it’s a matter of finding a way out so we can move on, and that means, says Mark Halperin, negotiating the “terms of surrender.”

“It’s just a question of the terms of surrender right now,” Halperin said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Part of what’s driving the dynamic is Democrats know they are winning and Harry Reid and the White House have the attitude of, ‘Why should we give anything because they’re coming our way,’ and they’re waiting.”

Halperin also said Democrats are trying to send a message to Republicans, who will cave.

“We’ve talked about Democrats giving Republicans an opportunity to save face: I think the White House and Harry Reid would like to humiliate the Republicans and like to send a message that if you’re led around by Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin going forward, the same thing will happen to you again. So they’re going for the best, toughest deal they can get,” Halperin said.
