It is bloodsport. I think, on some level, Trump understands this. Democrats never seem to have to pay the price for any of their “transgressions”. I think that Donald Trump may just understand the need to, as one of my eloquent ‘flyover country’ friends used to say, put the pork to them.
Is that the same as "layin' a little schlongin' on 'em"?
Yes. The price may be a push for a national voter ID law to secure our elections.
There goes California!
