Uncommon Commentary #433: Washington, D[ysfunctional]C[apital]

Many Republicans are excited over the prospect of gaining a majority in the US Senate through this year’s elections.  If this happens, though, the majority will be a slight one, unable to withstand the veto power of a president who unquestionably will still accuse his opponents of obstructionism; we must expect “gridlock”, therefore, to persist in the federal misgovernment for at least another two years.  A lame duck can still bite.
