Current composition of congress:
Senate: 51 Democrats/Independents 49 Republicans
House: 218 Republicans 213 Democrats/Independents 4 vacancies
1. If a party is working AGAINST an opposing party, there would be gridlock.
2. If a party is working WITH an opposing party, there would be an equal amount of compromise from each side.
3. If a party is working FOR the other party, there would be minimal resistance from the subservient party. The dominant party would always win.
Republicans seem to be in the number three position whether they are in the majority or the minority. I recall when the Republicans had the Senate, Democrats blocked almost everything. Now that the Democrats have the Senate, Republicans don’t seem to block anything.
It was bad enough when I accepted that the Republicans were the stupid party. It’s even worse now that I realize they are the party of collusion. Stupid people can possibly learn.
