One side plays to win.
The other?
Not so much...
Absolutely!
The explaination is to get the usefull idiots to support the party until control is obtained.
And there are a lot of useful idiots on this site lately.
Trump, Cruz, Rubio and all the rest are relying on the useful idiots for support. After it is over, then its back to business.
The useful idiots CAN NOT understand that their HEROS will not be able to do a dam thing without dealing with the legislature, and that is where the problem is.
Unless maybe we have another Augustus in the making and he suspends the constitution?
The democrats know what the objective is. Not so with the Republicans.
