Sure they are required. We think of them as lavish trips under the guise of “business.”
It is business. Things and plans can be made at such events that could not be normally discussed in the government offices.
Trip to Vegas? Who did they meet with in Vegas?
What are these boots on the ground minions planning? How to handle the protests post November election? How to handle ballot stuffing?
These trips are not what they appear to be on the surface. Republicans need to stop acting so dumb and scratch below the surface.
I'm beginning to think, maybe their not acting.. :(
