It’s not “dysfunction” just because your side loses: Substitute “comprehensive immigration reform” for “TPP” in the following paragraph from Paul Krugman and it’s equally right:
A brief aside: I don’t think it’s right to call this a case of Washington “dysfunction”. Dysfunction is when we get outcomes nobody wants, or fail to do things everyone wants done, because there doesn’t seem to be any way to package the politics. In this case, however, people who oppose TPP voted down key enabling measures — that is, they got what they wanted. Calling this “dysfunction” presumes that this deal is a good idea — and that kind of presumption is precisely what got successfully challenged yesterday. [E.A.]

We can now see the real difference between Republican elites and Democrat elites on jobs, trade, and immigration.
Republicans want to offshore most blue-collar jobs to China and fill the remaining ones with foreign workers from Mexico.
Democrats want to keep all the blue-collar jobs here, and fill them with foreign workers from Mexico.
It’s only “dysfunction” when the progressives lose

Krugman is lower than the used toilet paper I flush every day. Why does anybody bother reading him?
