It is BEST for America that Neither Party controlls both White House and the Congresses.
What do you think?

It's best when they forget their parties altogether and vote for what's in the best interest of the people and the country.
I know, total crazy talk.

Depends what your policy positions are.
Certainly, in that case, you get policy gridlock and the country does not move substantially in either direction.
Which is not a bad thing! There is a common perception that "having an argument" or being "in conflict" is a bad thing. Democracy is all about conflict and argument!
The separation of powers reserves a place for minority representation. At least the party who elects the chief executive doesn't necessarily get to then totally ignore the opposition.
It's kind of an ingenious way of forcing the American people to be REALLY sure of what they want before it can even procedurally happen.
Constitutional republics move slowly and painstakingly, but it's really a beautifully elegant system.

As a 24/7 Liberal
I like a Conservative President and Democratic House of Representatives with a balanced Senate

What's best for America is that all politicians start doing what's right for their country , not their egos, party, and bank account!

There is a philosophy of thought that maintains that so long as the executive and legislative branches are split, it will create gridlock, fewer laws will be passed, and less government intervention will happen.

I think the GOP is best in the White House.

Best for America if all current politicians would drop dead so that we could replace all of them with regular people.

Only if the two are actually willing to work together and comprimise. Otherwise it would be very tough to get anything done. Look at what is going on now.

In your scenario not much will done, just like now. Of course that may be better than the crap that got passed in the prior six years.

Yes, the six years our Nation was solely in the hands of Republicans is a good example of why we need checks and balances.
