Bipartisanship implies two parties willing to compromise to come up with a balanced result.

Not one side weakly going along with the other out of fear that the other will do something even worse, if they don't. The magats will automatically do the worst possible thing regardless of what Democrats do or don't do. The thing that IMHO is the priority is to make it 100 percent clear that all the crap the Magats pull is owned by them alone with not even one Democrat in agreement.
