(23,921 posts)Repuglicans or Democrats don't like to have salacious or other interesting facts about their lives exposed in public. Remember we are One Puritan Nation Under God (UPNOG?).
Just based on 70 years of watching the shenanigans of people with power, I'm guessing that upwards of 90% have a dossier that would not fit well into their clean image.
The Pee Tarty was just a programmed wedge to drive into the heart of the Repuglicans. It definitely involved outside support($$$) and instruction by other than the frothing idjuts that talk about "values". Now that the Repuglicans have been scared shitless by voters, they won't stand up to anything. In any case, I'm not sure there are any rational Repuglicans left in congress. It's a sorry state of affairs to say that McCain every now an then shows signs of lucidity.
(Moderator Warning!!!): Democrats the same. Some have been coopted by dossiers, some are just plain bumbling or senile, and quite a few have been worn down by the relentless drip of calumny and spite coming from the other side. $$$ has way too large an influence here also.
For all the angst that we, as normal rational humans, feel. Imagine the turmoil going on inside the government where real people have tried to do real good for many years. I don't care if they are in HUD or NSA or State or many other agencies. Hard work wiped out in one week by a megalomaniac. (And it isn't just tRump.)
