As far as your question.  Compromise with whom exactly?  Compromise with the opposing party or compromise with the "leaders" (establishment) of his party?  Ideally, the politician should stand by their point-of-view that got them elected and should not really compromise with either to get that done.

 

Going back to my previous example, if a bill is introduced that raises taxes on widgets, then the politician should refuse it because he ran and made a promise not to raise taxes on widgets.
 

What if he also promised to try to repeal Obamacare, and then when he got into office, the opposition said, if you vote to raise taxes on widgets, we will repeal Obamacare?  

 

Never compromise?   Never break a promise?  Even if breaking one promise means achieving another promise?
