"while the political process always requires some compromise, government this time intends to stay the course"
_________________________________
Using the details, I see that it doesn't meantion how the political process always requires some compromise, instead showing the opposite. In the text it says, "... tax cuts..", "...jobs..", and "..lies..". Anything but that is shown in the passage. Thus, "while the political process always requires some compromise, government this time intends to stay the course" is the answer.
Hope this helps you! Good luck on your diognostic! I am so sorry if I made any mistake as I checked my answer and got this.
