Unfortunately that is true among "real" politicians. The discourse has become so vicious and attacking that working together has become impossible. The political climate today is toxic and allows no room for common sense solutions. When the "other side" is seen as vicious, ugly, untrustworthy, and working to undermine the country, it allows for no compromise or teamwork. I live in Missouri, but we get the political ads from Kansas as we are on the state line and the ads are embarrassing- on both sides. The far left and far right have stolen the parties and not for the better. Politicians should work for the people, but instead they work for monied interests and re-election.
