NO. NEXT QUESTION.

Roger Simon asks, "Don’t we have enough gridlock already?"

It's bothering him that the national Democrats appear to be fracturing into "center-left" and "purely socialist" components.  Meanwhile, there are national Republicans aligning with Our President, who defies easy ideological characterization, as well as the traditional Chamber of Commerce Republicans who aren't quite as me-too as they were during the Eisenhower era, but yet put off by what might best be understood as a hostile takeover of the party machinery by a businessman with a lot of F. U. money.

At root, his fear is apparently that the devolution of the two national parties is going to make it harder for the Governing Classes to Get Things Done.  "Legislation can be passed, progress made, without having to appeal to and compromise with a half-dozen or more warring constituencies."

In a country of several hundred million people of varying ancestries and religious persuasions (those being protected and in part encouraged by the founding documents) perhaps it is better that the national government do fewer things and do those well.
