So why doesn’t Trump mention this. Does everyone in DC eventually lose common sense?
They are representing their constituents. The lobbyists.
This is why then-candidate Trump was so dangerous to the status quo. He didn’t need their funding, and thus wasn’t muzzled by the lobbyists. He wasn’t dependent on their funding.
Ever notice the “mainstream” Republican candidates never say anything remotely approaching normal conversational speech, “conservative” opinions held by the vast majority of Americans, democrat or republican, the way Donald J. Trump did.
If they do, they probably get a phone call and read the riot act, and no more funding unless they comply. And they comply, because the first thing they do upon election is sit down and start raising money for election. The way the system is set up we’re guaranteed to get hosed. If you hadn’t noticed.
