Doesn't anyone realize how terribly wrong the statement the Democrats will have control of the Senate is? Or how terribly wrong the statement the Republicans will have control of the Senate is? Does anyone get appalled at the fact people talk about how any one body has control of the Senate, House, or the entire Congress? I do. No one is supposed to have control over either body let alone both concurrently. We can trace everything that is wrong with America back to the two party system. So it doesn't matter if Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc have control of Congress, it only matters that one group can make decisions based on their political alignment. James Madison must be rolling in his grave.
