"The last couple of Congresses have been among the most polarized in history. This is just a continuation of that. There's nothing that will break this [trend]," said Gary Jacobson, a University of California (San Diego) political scientist, who specializes in congressional politics. "Voters have been voting along party lines at the highest rate in 50 years; they expressed that vote at the congressional and presidential levels. It's hard for members to win in districts where their party is not favored."

It then goes on to cite 12 items that will surely bring out some discussion here.
Me? I'd be perfectly content in Congress would continue to get nothing done for decades to come. I'd like to see more states step up and demand their role as stated in the US Constitution. Yes, I'm a States' Rightest.
