They would hold out for the repail of minimum wage.
If they got that...
They would hold out for a national right to work (for less) law.
If they got that...
They would hold out for 'fair' tax reform.
If they got that...
They would hold out for the repeal of 'Obama Care'.
If they got that...
They would hold out until the Department of Education was eliminated.
If they got that...
They would hold out until the EPA was eliminated.
And it wouldn't stop there.
Just look at the planks in the republican platform.
