Without Trump there would be no GOP. At the time of the rise of Trump all of us had had it with the traitorous self-dealing sell-out lushes - sure Mr. Lobbyist, we can do that. Can you get us another round.
As DC goes they were cheap dates - not even demanding a “thank you ma’am” lest it keep them from turning their next trick to screw over America.
Why go for the "lite" when you can get the real stuff?
