“I don't think that split government is a good idea. Conventional wisdom in Washington for years has been that divided government is good because of a check and a balance. What I believe happens all too often, regardless of which party is there's gridlock.

And if you don't like it, put another party in.” IfsThinkingGivingYearsBelieveHas BeensIdeasGovernmentHappensHouseI BelievePresidentCan DoChancePartyBalanceArgumentChecksDividedGood IdeasSenateSplitsConventionalConventional WisdomGridlockDivided Government Author:Scott Walker
