What most in the middle see is people like Pelosi and Biden gaming the system for their own purposes while accusing Trump of gaming the system for his own purposes.

Interesting take. How do these people in the middle see Reps and Trump?

I think back to the 2010-2011 period, when the debt and deficit were big problems, leading to a government shutdown. I attended a State Bar tax seminar where one of the speakers was a Washington tax lobbyist who expressed his belief that 85% of the rank and file in congress could agree on a solution in about 15 minutes, if only they could keep Obama, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, and Pelosi out of the room.

I think we have a political system where things would work a lot better if the leaders were not more interested in sowing hate and discontent than in doing what is right for the country.
