They have passed a large amount of legislation. Agreed. Effective or productive or good? That won't be know for some time.

I think the question is whether they can work together in a bipartisan way to pass laws that are good for the country as a whole and not just some special interest.

Thats a whole different can of worms. If the R's gain as many seats as it appears they will, I think that will only embolden them even more.
I'm not seeing that future as bipartisan or productive.
