It seems to me that the two political parties in DC play by different sets of rules. One party is willing to distort the process, block all progress on actions that do not align with their agenda and drive compliance with their ideology from their members. The other party is concerned with process and procedure, expresses a willingness to compromise and has a diverse range of individual beliefs that sometimes do not align with party ideology.
The funny thing is, at least from my view, there is no need to identify which party is which.
