But how did Trump, of all the people on this planet, become the leader of it? He has been an establishment uniparty donor and contributor and supporter for the last 40 years. Didn't he contribute $60,000 (that's more than a lot of here make in a year) to contribute to McConnell's campaign to stave off the Tea Party Candidate, Matt Bevin? How can we trust that Trump is going to be anything that he has never been before?
In his defense, Trump is coming from the other side.
We are TOO familiar with the politicians who sell out to and are influenced by businesses and lobbyists.
Trump has been on that ‘business’ side. He is revealing what goes on inside politics, but from the perspective of the non-politician businesses.
We have known forever that businesses donate to both parties. It is a politican version of shakedown.
We need to accept that politics is dirty and businesses that pay off politicians are dirty, but that is CODB — Cost of Doing Business.
Why else do you think the Chamber of Commerce is so influential?
Why else are the wealthiest counties in the nation on the border with DC?
