Perhaps when one party holds the executive branch and a majority of the legislative, it provides a clearer picture who should claim success or failure. Without that situation is the gridlock resulting from partisan polarity good? The two parties have been around since close to the beginning and through the arguments, heated disagreements, and passionate ideals- in the end can we say it is successful? Is the reason the United States is where it is today because of a seesaw like policy change that has happened intermittently through the decades? How have two parties gained control over the Electoral College? Does anyone ever wonder what the US would look like with a different party at the helm?
