I don’t think the dem hit squad had The Donald on their radar. When they begin their counterattack, which they will, it will be a game of catch up and seen for what it is.
The Donald DOES NOT CARE what the hit squad does. He's on his third wife, a beautiful woman 24 years younger than him. He parties. He has fun. He does business deals and he's quite open that he's going for the best deal he can get and screw the other guy. He's never claimed to be a saint.
I think what makes Repubs into RINOs is they succumb to the temptations of DC. Gorgeous lobbyists who want to wine and dine you to listen to their arguments. What happens in DC, stays in DC, AS LONG AS you do not threaten the Dem agenda. The RINOs know that as long as they play nice, the skeletons stay in the closet.
