Intra-party struggles

This isn't a topic we have directly talked about, but intra-party negotiations are part of coalitions and win sets.  It is interesting to see that the GOP continues to have issues utilizing its majority in the House due to party infighting.

I"m not sure that they've had any more struggles then the democrats had when they had the majority in both houses and the presidency and couldn't pass a budget of their choosing since they had the numbers to over ride a filibuster is both houses if I remember correctly.

The simple fact is that with the numbers of politicians not voting sincerly due to re-election concerns they aren't able to get much done these days.
