The Dem, Republic split is a tool for getting things done. They can be friends with whoever they want. It's better for Steve Jobs that Bill Gates is his main rival, rather than a German, British or Chinese tech company. A democrat can play off a republican to force through change or achieve goals. We get herded into the middle of a story by real world details being politicized. Republicans and dems will control the internet news stream by killing off fake/Russian news. They'll clean up areas of money flow with 'shocking' exposes. You can see it coming if you remember the patterns over time. It's getting boring to watch..
