Thank you for referencing that article Oldeconomybuyer. Please note that the following critique is directed at other patriots, including me before I was enlightened, and not at you.

"Trump has no pitching (McConnell) and no hitting (Ryan). But you can’t take a few innings off in “tactical retreat”."

What Trump got wrong about draining the swamp is this. Noting that ordinary voters bought the Senate when they unthinkingly pressured state lawmakers to ratify the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, it was up to patriots to exercise their voting power to clean up both Houses of Congress long before Trump announced that he was running for president. But generations of low-information patriots have not only miserably failed to do so, but are pointing their fingers at everybody else.

So Trump’s first two years with the current corrupt Congress are arguably practice years at best, patriots needing to make sure that state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting candidates are on the primary ballots for November ’18.

The 17th Amendment was the beginning of the end.
