I believe it's all posturing. THe ramifications won't serve either party. And certainly not the middle class. These guys are a bunch of drama queens. Every few years they play brinksmanship just for sport.
Whoever ends up winning the presidential election will score major points for *saving* the country. And with a bit of luck these aholes in congress will actually start working together for the benefit of the people they are supposed to be serving.
Overly optimistic. probably.
