Gridlock is a blessing

""My advice to the Democratic Party for the close of the midterm elections would be for Clinton to tape a series of 3- to 5-minute videos supporting top Democratic Senate candidates, in addition to personally campaigning for them. These videos would offer a thoughtful and conversational explanation of why those Democratic candidates should be elected, and why all-Republican control of Congress would bring total gridlock in Washington and worsen the poisoned politics that is held in widespread contempt throughout America.""

It takes two to gridlock. How does the house achieve this on its own.  If the senate considered some of the house passed bills, would that end gridlock? Or would Obama hold his breath, vetoing everything presented to him until he turns blue?

As long as the democrats say my way or the highway, how can the house be blamed.

Anyway, it is constitutional for the house to not fund everything the executive desires. Overcoming this difficulty is what politics is about. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen - Truman.
