No one in the D.C. swamp is decent. They arent allowed in the door unless they are already compromised or can be blackmailed in some way over the skeletons in their CIA files. This is how the game is played. The D.C. kingmakers have a file ready to go on everyone ready to play. Play by their rules, get out or get outed. Simple.
Poor Ted has been fishwrappered. Blaming Trump (though Trump may be innocent-we will never know) was all Ted could do along with a categorical denial. Teds denial must convince his followers or he is done. He cant pull a Clinton and expect it to work for him, while professing his Christianity. That never works for a Republican. It some how works as resume enhancement for Democrats.
GOPelites wants Trump in political cemetary and they want Cruz in the political hospital. CREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GIVE US THE SOLUTION. Kasich as the brokered convention candidate. This is why Kandidate Kung Fu Konfetti Kasich is still with us. The son of a mailman who can cross the aisle, give an olive branch to the Democrats and keep the Congressional check book in the hands of the squishy moderate Republicans.
Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entitys very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.) I believe Hillary Clinton wrote her Masters Thesis on Saul Alinsky. Mr. Alinsky dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to the very first radical, Lucifer.
Truth doesnt matter. It is the seriousness of the charge as democrats say. I weep for this once great country and its ignorant populace who are very willing to elect a socialist without knowing what a socialist is
Might explain why Trey Gowdy is not going to seek another term...going to head home to SC, closer with family. Who can blame him.
