Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) called the Founding Fathers of the United States a little maniacal in their focus on having a separation of powers during an appearance Thursday on Morning Joe.
McCaskill, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said while criticizing Donald Trump that the country should not be divided and pointed to the rancor in Congress as proof of the problem.

Apparently someone has no desire to be a Senator anymore. If you’re that stupid as to swear an oath to a Constitution you later refer to as maniacal, perhaps resignation is in order.
Mania in opposition to tyranny is no vice.
Hilary’s best watch her back w/McCaskill. She chose Obama over her in ‘08!
So I wonder how she’d feel about the separation of powers if Trump were President? Should we find out?

Why have separation of powers when you can have Joseph Stalin.
I guess it didn’t occur to her that they had just won independence from a monarchy. That might skew your thinking towards having separation of powers, just maybe. What an idiot!
Jefferson: “If the three powers [i.e., legislative, executive, and judiciary] maintain their mutual independence of each other, our government may last long; but not so if either can assume the authorities of the other”
Intelligence is not one of her attributes.
Liberals question government only when republicans are in charge. When democrats are in charge, they would like to silence dissent and violate people’s rights.
The constitution was designed to make passing laws really really difficult, and keep the three branches of the federal government in check.
Of course that’s now out the window in our post-constitutional decline.
Of course - race over anything else!
The founding fathers knew a lot more than this idiot.
A silly, old woman who would prefer we have a king - especially if it’s king obama.
Yup, our Founders were on the Right and loved freedom, in contrast to you Lying Leftist Tyrants. They were ardent, YOU are maniacal.
The oath means the world to you and I. To any democrat and many many republicans it is a silly ancient ritual that they must complete meaning absolutely nothing.
This cow has no clue.
