The other theory is the elites that actually CONTROL the politicians want compromised people in office so they can continue to pull the strings: Hastert, for example.
Look at the Republicans who ‘came out’ against Trump link Lindsey Graham. It’s almost as if they don’t want to clean the swamp. Who knows what bodies might be uncovered?

Some of the things they do make absolutely no sense at all.
