They've been **selected** to behave just the way they are. They aren't leaders or anything like it - they're loyal followers of the donors / rich/ whatever you want to call it.

The fact that trump has ripped the curtain away doesn't mean the corruption etc wasn't there in the first place. Now they have no skills to do anything else except bumble along. They have no stones to be able to find their way out of this so they're doubling down.

I'm just glad that a lot of the dems seem to have woken up and are truly in the fight now. But it remains to be seen what will actually be revealed to the public - because I think it's gigantically evil and I can see them "not wanting to scare the public" (ahem, cough, affect the markets) with the reality.
