I've long thought that our government/parties bickering is largely a result of the huge influx of lawyers that have swarmed into the political arena and overwhelmed it. Combine lawyers and those who chose "politician" as a career, and you have the vast majority of congressional members. What do lawyers do? Argue? What to politicans largley do? Pander and argue.
Are we so shocked with how our government is full of arguing, bickering, and pandering? You get out what you put in.
High time for some businessmen (would love some engineers) to stroll into town. What do businessmen do? Build stuff, negotiate deals, make stuff happen. Personally not a Trump fan, but currently enjoying watching the show unfold and would like to see some stuff actually happen - sure beats bickering and arguing.
