The Gipper's rules for negotiation...

The Gipper's rules for negotiation...  As relayed by George Schulz, writing in today's Wall Street Journal:
1. Be realistic; no rose-colored glasses. Recognize opportunities when they are there, but stay close to reality.

2. Be strong and don't be afraid to up the ante.

3. Develop your agenda. Know what you want so you don't wind up negotiating from the other side's agenda.

4. On this basis, engage. And remember: The guy who is anxious for a deal will get his head handed to him.
I have zero confidence that That One's administration is following any of these rules...
