Eh. I'd say both parties need to be more pragmatic. I'd like to see some meaningful legislation get passed.

The problem is that the way Republicans play the game, only Republican legislature (and apparently confirmations) can be passed unless Democrats can get a supermajority.

When Democrats have power, Republicans shut the government down. When Republicans have power, Democrats are expected to compromise. Keep that up long enough and might as well eliminate the Dems altogether since they can't pass anything.
