The Democrats have had control of both houses for the past two years. It's not the party in control that's the issue. There are good representatives in both houses as well as leaders interested in power struggles.

The problem is the disconnect of the party leaders with the points of view of their own party members as well as the majority of Americans.

People get elected to Congress but soon feel stripped of political trust because of the leadership whose main concerns are not those of the rest of America.

They haven't convinced America of their trustworthiness. Trustworthiness should build bipartisanship. However bipartisanship that tries to show mutual trust, does not build trust. It did the Rebublicans in back in 2007.
