I agree. You have to sweep the house and control at least 60 senate seats to get any of the president's legislative agenda accomplished. This what I always say when folks give me the hairy eyeball when I say that I'm supporting Bernie Sanders, and we're in it to win win it. Talking heads always going on about "how is he going to achieve his legislative agenda? There's no way he'll get what he wants" as though that's a bad thing. As long as one party controls the executive branch, and another controls the national legislature, they we can be sure that they're not going to fuck anything up too badly.
My general position is that when I think the GOP is going to control the congress, I vote for a Democrat president, and when I think the Democrats will control the congress, I vote for a Republican president. Gridlock is good.
I agree. Those who complain about Washington gridlock haven't given a lot of thought about the alternative. Generally speaking, gridlock is not a bad thing.
