It makes sense if you run with the assumption that a chunk of people serving in Congress genuinely treat the whole job as a competitive game or roleplaying scenario. It was all good for a while, but now they have drawn in the weird kids who play too aggressively, and there's little they can do to bring everything back on track without giving up and breaking character.
