At this moment, given the ineptitude and disarray of the Far Right, the Left is looking pretty good by comparison; if you consider what the GOP had to give up and what the DEMs got in the new spending bill package, it appears the only ones "getting things done" on matters affecting the greater population is the DEM Left. Aside from getting Gorsuch onto SCOTUS, which the GOP Right could only do by changing the Senate rules to avoid an embarrassing defeat in an honest vote, the GOP keeps swinging for the fences and ends up dribbling a few feet down the infield baseline into foul territory. If the GOP keeps this up, 2018 could be a very interesting year for what's left of the GOP Congress; there has been a goodly number of GOP incumbents who either have declared they won't stand for reelection or appear to be leaning towards such a decision...
