Seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up."
I would like to hope it would be well received because as we discussed earlier, it meets a need and gives both parties a huge solution to a smaller problem which both could campaign on. Yet, with the amount of hatred towards one another, it's possible this thing would blow up.
Yeah, right now the political environment is just far too volatile for it. Even before the recent trends in partisan attitudes this would've been a hard sell for bipartisanship, but as we go on we see fewer and fewer things getting that sort of support. Things that used to be obvious yes votes in both chambers have become party-line or nearly party-line votes. It is a sad state of affairs.
