Buying politicians across parties is a business expense, not a political endorsement

Yeah, but they don't stay bought.

“Buying politicians across parties is a business expense, not a political endorsement”

Plus,it’s perfectly legal for Big Money Donors to bribe politicians. It’s part of the game. Trump did it all the time. Just don’t be a politician who gets caught taking one. Here in Virginia, we have an ex-Gov in Fed Prison because he took a loan from a donor in return for just listening to his sales pitch. He didn’t give the man’s company what it wanted, the loan was paid back, ...but just listening to the sales pitch got him prison time. The guy making the” bribe “ is scot free.

The ones that are rented and don’t satisfy their donors have a hard time going back to a guy like trump don’t they?
Like Lindsey graham? Trashing trump when it turns out he was hitting up,trump for his senate campaign donations.

I think this process has opened trumps eyes to the true character of a lot of people who used to hit him up for money!

You’re probably right, but you can rent them.

Which might be even better.
