A good article, but.....

As most on this topic talk about the rino’s desperately trying to hold on to power ....

Power? To them power means money. The real fear of the rino’s is that they will be dragged away from the trough.

Hillary, Comey, Biden, obummer, Pelosi, Feinstein.... They are only the obvious.

DC is truly the city with streets paved with gold. Billions floating around with very poor accounting for where it is going.

Stories of he defense department losing billions with no record of where it went...Lobbyists/lobbiers, whatever handing out millions on every subject in which the government is involved.

Hillary shaking down both the buyer and the seller on the same deal to approve the purchase/sale of defense materials is a prime example.

I am all for people who create or produce getting rich, but our political system is filled with those who scam, steal bribe and corrupt others.

The swamp will never be drained until someone stops the graft. Like organized crime, if there is enough money to be stolen men/women will take any risk to get a piece of the money. Put one in jail, two pop up to take their place unless you get control of the money.

One major step would be to keep most of the money from going to DC.

What's worse is the FBI can't investigate these types of 'crimes' because 'our public servants' make much of the theft 'legal' for those in DC.

I had a friend from the Middle East tell me there was such contempt for Americans before Trump because rather than just take a bribe like everyone else American 'bigs' forced 'theater and drama' on those offering the bribes. Like the 'speeches' where rich Arabs had to hire people to sit in a room and pretend to listen to a speech.

They didn't mind bribing the 'bigs' but it would get down to small time ex-military, contractors, etc. Before Trump we were the laughing stock of the ME... and considered the most corrupt.
