To vote one party over the other, simply because of what they once were is rather foolish, in my opinion.
Another unfortunate fact of American politics is that once in power, politicans are reluctant to give up that power. That is a large part of all the "loophole" legislation that gets proposed, and too often passed. Be it the tax code, minimum wage, insurance, ad nasueaum.
The third unfortunate, in this sad trilogy, is that because of the above, it isn't going to get fixed.

Sorry PB but that just makes too much sense. If you are not careful your memeberships of the RWW Society will be withdrawn. (Memo to self - you just agreed with PB. Expect a severe thumping at the next meeting of the BHL Club.)
