The Left has often said that the destructive urge is also a creative urge. I tend to oppose such thinking because it can be used to justify killing a whole lot of people — because it’s worth it, ya know, if you’re fighting for a good cause.
But I suppose destroying something to build something better isn’t always wrong. If Trump destroys the GOP, I won’t mind — so long as he builds something a little less Democrat.
PING
Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do. Lobbyists are paid, some very well paid, to get politicians to go along with the need of the legislative group.
When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
While all of this is happening the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them. This construct sets up the quid-pro-quo of influence, although much of it is fraught with plausible deniability. This is the way legislation is created.
Yeah and if Trump upholds DACA, Sundance will be right there saying what a beautiful move it was and that Trump is playing 4-D chess.
Trumps’ goal to drain the swamp
Will be Monumental!
Not a wall.
Not DACA.
Not Taxes or Hillary.
But the Literal tearing Down of Strongholds!

A perfect explanation. This needs to be shouted from the house tops. Many folks in the USA are completely unaware of this process. Needs lots more attention. President Trump is the man to do it.
