Former Senators Tom Daschle ( @TomDaschle ) and Trent Lott bring a combined nearly 60 years of service between them, from the mid-80s through the mid-aughts. 

Both former Senate Majority Leaders — the Democrat Daschle and Republican Lott are no strangers to the tough talk and partisan rhetoric of Capitol Hill. But these days, the two believe that has become a national crisis. Hence the title of their new book, "Crisis Point: Why we must — and how we can — overcome our broken politics in Washington and across America."

Washington has never been a bipartisan love-fest, but in their book, the former Congressional leaders offer solutions to some of the largest obstacles keeping the two parties from working together.
