‘Ineffective leadership’ from top down

With the recent government shutdown, we can spread the responsibility evenly.

To President Donald Trump for his narrow-minded, bombastic rhetoric and rants. To the Republicans for causing the shutdown in the first place. To the Democrats for not having the ability to unite to do anything about it.

Talk about ineffective leadership from the top all the way through the ranks. What a joke!

This recent shutdown clearly demonstrated why Americans must clean house and rid the U.S. of a completely dysfunctional Congress and President.

None of them are capable of getting it right. Americans must do it by cleaning out Congress and the Presidency by replacing it with politicians who seek the common good, with common goals for the benefit of a whole nation, not the fractured mess we have now.
