Didn't consider it like that, republicans are doing a speedrun of the 5 stages of grief:

Denial - Democrats aren't getting squat from the negotiations.
Anger - Fucking democrats didn't show up.
Barganing - Okay we can settle on this, please?. (We are here)
Depression - I can't believe Dream Act passed.

There's also Acceptance but who cares anymore at this point about republicans, lol.

People seem to be on a high horse here but if push comes to shove, these same people will be begging for a bridge act.
