Would divided government mean gridlock?

Hosted by Warren Olney and KCRW Staff Oct. 21, 2016 National
As Donald Trump alienates more and more possible voters, some Red States appear to be turning Blue—at least in the race for the White House. GOP candidates point with alarm at Hillary Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees, free college tuition and “Big Government” that’s bigger than ever. Are they selling government by checks and balances in hopes of gridlock and four years of a Democratic president who can’t get anything done?
