Washington gridlock

Is a political majority actually an advantage in Washington? With Democrats in full resistance mode, Republicans still control both Congress and the White House but have yet to pass any major legislation. The Republicans' inability to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act has made it very difficult to move on to other big-ticket items on their agenda. At the heart of this is the rift within the GOP and a huge divide between Democrats and Republicans. While bipartisanship now seems like a long way off history tells us it is not impossible.
