She's been a disastrous negotiator, and I'm certainly not a fan, but for all her unwillingness to listen to others I'll credit her with one thing: I think she's always ultimately wanted a deal that she felt was in the country's best interests. That should be a given but it's certainly more than can be said of a number of people in her party and the opposition (on both sides of the debate) who have clearly been playing this to serve their own ends, regardless of how that might affect the country.
