Maybe this issue is not as black and white as you would like. I don't think it is and I have reason to believe that he is not as much a victim as many here on FR would like to think. That is the point, this is not a black and white issue, there is constant overlapping and people moving from one category to the other.
The other day, I asked a politically connected friend to define the "establihment" for me. He told me I am part of the establishment. Of course, we both had a good laugh out of it but I allege that to those who want to be victims that anyone who does not support your candidate is the current establishment. Don't worry, it will change tomorrow.
It isn’t explicitly black and white. I was attempting to, as briefly as possible, to give examples above of what I meant. Again, it is hard to overstate that when that much power, money and influence is at stake, the lengths to which people will go to in order to obtain and hold onto it. One big reason why we should never let these same folks hold office or take them seriously as candidates after years and years on the scene. That’s the simplistic version, of course. Why we must be eternally vigilant to keep certain individuals and groups from power that threaten to destroy this country who hail from both parties.
