No one in the D.C. swamp is decent. Come on, they arent allowed in the door unless they are already compromised or can be blackmailed in some way over the skeletons in their CIA files. This is how the game is played. The D.C. kingmakers have a file ready to go on everyone ready to play. Play by their rules, get out or get outed. Simple.
Ted has been fishwrappered. Blaming Trump was all he could do along with a categorical denial? Teds denial must convince his followers or he is done. He cant pull a Clinton and expect it to work for him, while professing his Christianity.
GOPe wants Trump in political cemetary and want Cruz in the political hospital. CREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GIVE US THE SOLUTION. Kasich. This why Kung Fu Konfetti Kasich is still with us. The son of a mailman who can cross the aisle, give an olive branch to the Demoncrats and keep the Congressional check book in the hands of the squishy moderate publicans.
Alinsky rule RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this
because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entitys very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its
commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
I’m on board with your analysis.... Kasich is the one who gains from this.
