After the first of the year both parties start fashioning a platform of issues the party will work to accomplish if they are given the resources to do so.
To be honest, I think a lot of politicians do what they think is best for them. The people overall dislike the current US Government and would like to have the President and Vice-President impeached. The president lied, went against the constitution, and basically tried to take away our rights and freedoms. This country is much worse off then it was before the President was reelected.
