True. And it actually goes a little deeper than that. This trade bill vote exposed the whole Crony system to many Democrats who thought Obama was their man. You would think after the corporate sellout on Obamacare they would have realized that eventually. But in this case Obama backstabbed his Democratic constituents and joined the RINOs and it was as visible as the noses on their faces. He has always been doing that, but they finally could plainly see. So the oligarchy needed a massive diversion. The key was producing the web site with the killer next to a Confederate flag. Now they can jam their wedge issue back into the populace and corral their constituents. Typical play in the RINO/DINO Oligarchy playbook. And note how all RINOs support the flag removals.
Our two major parties are subordinate to the money from elite corporate interests that fund their campaigns.
The Dems and Obama talk to the Left and throw sops like trade with Cuba and abortion in Obamacare and transgender rights in the military and so on to Lefties, then give big business the big stuff in the end.
We get Right talk from Republicans with their symbolic 20 week abortion bills that Obama would veto anyway and so on, but it means nothing since they go along with Obamacare and Amnesty only wanting to amend them, not end them because corporate interests want both.
