Yup, already imagined that. (-:

Ironically, increased bipartisanship is the exact opposite of the outcome that the party-within-a-party wants.

One interesting thing to think about is how cohesive the party-with-a-party is over the coming years. If it is strongly cohesive, then the #USHouseOfRepresentatives effectively is a 3-party chamber, in all but name.

@ancientsounds Political parties in #USPolitics at the federal level are rather looser than they are in the U.K., but that's a rough approximation to what is going on.

It bodes ill for what's going to happen for the next two years, as a deadlock _within_ the House majority party will block lots of stuff. Either there is going to be some bipartisanship, or the party-within-a-party will hold everything to ransom.

The last few years of USA politics have been quite the impressive soap opera. I'm not an Eastenders or Corrie kind of TV watcher, but I've watched 2 impeachments, an attempted insurrection, the insurrection hearings.

Its the most epic Law & Order final episode.
