Yes, you read correctly, the 535 folks whom 80 percent of Americans dislike make these momentous decisions.

One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    Yes, these are the same folks who nearly shut down the government, who refuse to fix the broken immigration system and who have run up more than $33 trillion in debt.

    It’s really telling that, when it comes time for you cite the issues with Congress, these two things are the most prevalent you can come up with.

    Immigration and the debt? That’s your go-to? Those are the two most prominent failures of this Congress in your mind?
