The Republican Party leadership is much too old to be this naive (or, alternatively, to care so little about our Republic, about our Constitution and about the American people.)
“...The Republican Party leadership is much too old to be this naive...”
Therein lies one of their biggest faults...They ARE old...So old that they have already got theirs and can finish their lives in the lap of luxury...They care NOTHING about the future or future generations...Some don’t even care about their own offspring or grandkids...
IMO, the “professional politicians” of today are completely worthless individuals...
