Sure he did. He originally said he wasn't going to negotiate. He caved.
Sure.
Which is fantastic. Enjoy that 'getting him to negotiate' as your win and celebrate it. I will allow it.
every good negotiator knows in a tough spot you have to put forth positions you allow the other side to knock you off and feel they got a win on. Something that they, like you are, can brag about.
Getting Biden to the table was that gift horse.
If you don't care that Biden won the actual negotiation, and maintained almost all of his agenda, we will take that as our win.
ExpressLane - 'we got crushed in the negotiations with regards to what our base was pushing for. Biden owned us. But lets all take solace that at least we forced him to the table to own us'. 'Win!'
