Unfortunately, national patronage goes back to the election of 1936 when FDR won 98% of the electoral vote and 61% of the “popular” vote. He doled out “federal funds” at an unheard of rate, something no other sitting president had done. He won re-election by being Santa Claus with taxpayer money.

The stories of what his democrat machine did to the country are absolutely disgusting.
