What do you propose they do? What policies do you think the parties should support or enact?
Can you please be more specific?
Is it possible? Of course. Historically, cooperation and compromise underlie most legislation.
But it’s not possible if one party or the other makes a determined stance to collectively NOT cooperate, as the majority of Republicans have done for about six years now. Their policies are a combination of the stated goal is to make President Obama fail, and Gingrich/TeaParty-ish goals to make government in general smaller and irrelevant.
Constructive government action has to happen in spite of that kind of attitude.
Wil Rogers said “I’m not in an organized political party, I’m a Democrat” That was fine as long as there was one relatively stable party in the negotiations. Now there are the conservative and liberal democrats, dealing with the conservative, libertarian, and just plain nuts republicans.
The Tea Party is “all hat and no cattle” another quote attributed to Rogers, or George W. Bush, it depends where you look.
