...because do they think that the Modern Confederate Party will work with Democrats to avoid a public when they can continue to stand strong doing nothing and voting no?

1. I'm sure those reaching out are sincere in wanting it...
...but they might still know there's no way the votes are there. That would suck.

2. Even if it is posturing it's a big improvement
Posturing is better than conceding key points before the negotiations even begin.

3. I agree, though it's just at this point, I hope that something can happen worthwhile

5. It would be a HUGE gamble....
... to make this big show if they cant get it done.

I am hoping we are on the verge of seeing an amazing story play out. (One that we'll all be very pleased with.)

6. I'm sure those writing want to be seen as doing all they could regardless of what happens.*
