my dad told me that the Democrats are for the poor people and the Republicans are for the rich people. Somewhere between then and now millions of poor people have been trained to vote against their own best interests. I believed my dad because he was right. Yeah, yeah some Democrats have strayed from that path, but for the most part my dad was right.

his numerous billionaire backers demand it. Aside from the Mercers, Koch brothers and many other international business moguls, that group includes some very nasty Russian oligarchs.

If they don't show total loyalty, their future is dead with regard to any employment in politics, business, or media. Those guys will take revenge.

For anyone that doesn't believe they have that power, just read up on what's been done to Christine Blasey Ford (Kavanaugh's accuser).

Christine Blasey Ford will be vindicated - all the money in the world won't work in the long run. That said you are correct.

"Nyet"?) The Republicans are also up to their necks in laundered rubles, and who knows what other kompromat the Russians might have on them.

HE OWNS ALL THEIR SECRETS NOW. As POTUS, even if it's in name only, he has access to every file ever gathered on every congress critter. The EvilCheney made sure of that. Now a would be dictator has those secrets.
