It will definitely take both sides for solutions...
The current environment of,
"Refuse, Refuse, Refuse" - "Politics of Destruction"
that has been practised by the repubs in congress over the past 3 years, is not helping anyone.
The irony is that the attitude of "my way or the highway" or "I'll take my ball home so no one can play, unless I get everything I want, and you get nothing" is hurting every one, but hurting the Republicans the most.
The Republicans are fielding candidates of inferior quality because most with potential can see the writing on the wall, and don't want their careers tarnished by the present fight or environment.
Whatever point of view is held, the "politics of destruction" will stop one way or the other. If not voluntarily, than the election will have some harsh results for many who have been practising that style...imo.
"evil flourishes when good people fail to act"
