Thomas Friedman was just on Smerconish...

and the dude nailed it. "trump is a chump". Went on to say how the world is accelerating faster in several areas and how Trump exploited so many into thinking he could slow those changes down. Totally agreed with him that both parties are imploding (or already have imploded) and are running on fumes because they were so flush with money.

It's one thing to say Trump is a disaster, a racist and simply has no concept of how to govern. 'Pubs have pretty much towed the company line, so they're culpable for the chaos and their divisions are being well documented. What's now getting traction is just how dysfunctional the 'dems are, thanks in part to Donna Brazille and Sen Warren.

Both parties suck and there isn't a viable alternatives for independent voters out there to rally around yet. Jesus, I hope that changes.

It’ll get worse first.

Yep.

The GOP has too many members of the House and Senate who think its more important to get re-elected as Republicans than being Americans unwilling to overlook Trump's ethics.  

The other half of the equation is the billionaires who may not like Trump but are willing to hold out until the GOP gets tax reform passed and see Trump sign the legislation.   Then they might want got rid of him and replace him with a much more pliable Mike Pence.

Agree that both parties suck. However, the Dems have been dysfunctional for a whole lot longer. It's part of their DNA. I do agree that HRC and DWS made it worse for the '16 run. Lots of bitterness in the ranks now, and Brazile's book only reopens slow healing wounds.
While it's especially bad for the Ds now, just wait until after the '18 election, when word gets out that there's more than one R candidate looking to challenge Trump in the primary. POTUS will then spend the next two years whining and complaining and attacking and playing the victim while further destroying his Party.
