Of course they likely didn't foresee one political party putting partisan politics way above the proper functioning of the country. Or they likely thought that the voters would vote out any party which did something like that, but likely never foresaw that half the country would be so apathetic about politics that they don't bother to vote.
The Founders were notoriously short of foresight.
