It will, as we all know in politics doing anything that makes the other party look good is never a good thing.  That is why nothing ever gets done unless one party or the other has full control of both congress and the president office.

Why are people so worked up over which party did what?
Shouldn't legal U.S. citizens be trying to make our country, and community better in every aspect?
Why can't everyone work together as a team?

Pride (it's on both sides) and the dysfunction of the family unit will lead to the destruction of the United States of America.

You must be new to politics.  Politics is about message.  If you can say you did this that make people believe it helped them you get support.  The message doesn't even have to be true as long as you can convince people that it is true.  So in politics, if you belong to one party and the other party is in control, you stifle everything that would benefit everyone because it makes the other party look good and they stay in power.  You are trying to apply logic to the process but your logic only really work if both parties actually did not seek power but instead seek improvement to the country.
