I don’t mind both chambers being controlled by one party but I do prefer that Congress and the Presidency are split.
I am always happy when one party does not control the House, the Senate and the presidency. Nothing good ever comes from one party controlling all three. How many out there feel as I do and how many want their party to control all three? Just so you know, I was not happy when the Dems controlled all three.
I don't think Republicans should be in charge of anything until they get their act together. The Democrats could **** up a two-car funeral procession, so I don't worry so much about them.

Who out there is happy that we have a split legislative branch of government?
Let's be real, that's never going to happen.I don't think Republicans should be in charge of anything until they get their act together. The Democrats could **** up a two-car funeral procession, so I don't worry so much about them.

Heck the Dems would have the "honored guest" in the driver's seat of the first car and Chuck Schumer is the driver's seat of the second. Good luck with that.
They may not realize it but they need Pelosi more than they might know at this point. Just as Chuck Schumer could not carry Mitch McConnell's jock, Kevin McCarthy can't carry Pelosi's pocketbook.
The problem with split control is that nothing gets done. What you need to do is think up a list of things you want done in the nation and try to find the party that is most likely to do that and give them control. I want us to move to a universal healthcare system and to start addressing climate change and these two issues are good for democrats. I also want lower deficits, lower taxes for workers, dramatically reduced regulations, etc, but Republicans aren't getting that done at all.
If legislation was being passed to deal with our deficit,healthcare, and infrastructure, I could care less if it’s one party or split. I’m a pragmatist in support of the bottom line. Right now, we have an intransigent Congress that’s split instead of one under the GOP.
Red:
Right now, what we have is GOP House and GOP Senate, both of which are comprised of intransigent Republicans. It's bad enough that you don't realize their intransigence, but insofar as you're ignorant of the GOP's having control of both chambers, I guess I shouldn't be surprised....
Have you considered that the root problem could be the concept of one party or the other controlling any branch of government?I am always happy when one party does not control the House, the Senate and the presidency.

I could care less how many ways they are split. What I care about is that they stop the grandstanding for the party's sake, and start performing for the country.
They need to start working for us, together.
Nancy is nothing but a dangling puppet who will block anything at her masters' bidding. If need be, she'll turn off the lights and act like a spoiled brat. Like I said, let them work together for the country, and not against each other for the sake of being in power.

Blue:
I didn't stutter.
- The GOP members of the 115th Congress, the one we have right now, are intransigent.
- You have ignored that right now, the GOP controls both chambers.
- Insofar as you are ignorant of the fact that the 115th Congress is GOP-controlled, something that's blatantly obvious, I shouldn't be surprised that you appear not to recognize something more subtle, in this case, the verisimility of their intransigence.
