Another approach of the Republicans (again if they are smart

) is to put a very biased initial plan out that passes the House with only Republican support. Then once the bashing comes starts, they cede some points, and lose the 20-30 Republican votes in order to gain 10-15 Dem votes, but have be able to claim Bipartisanship and setting aside the extreme elements demands for the better of the country.
Again, none of this speaks to fixing the country's problems, only who is better set up in the political chess match.
