Kind of is, yeah. As folks never tire of pointing out, the American electoral system only permits two major parties. As a basic principle, they're occupying one of those slots, so it is their job to stop the other party. If they lack the juice to do it, then they should step aside and let somebody else have a crack at it. It's part of the bargain that if they want to hold onto the power, they've gotta take some blame.
