Congress is supposed to be the forum wherein this happens. It's intentionally a broader forum of people's representatives from the entire nation. If congress can't agree to a law then the federal government probably shouldn't be doing it, even if something is desirable.

Congress has been intentionally neutered to cede power to the republican executive branch. This November will be interesting...

Be careful of blind partnership. Both parties have been increasingly guilty of this in recent decades. The republican party internal dynamics are just the most recent.

Even then Trump has been loosing his grip on the republicans in congress. It's slight but there. IMHO thats for the best.
