1) Trump supporters will give
Trump as much leeway as Trump needs for way too long no matter how much it hurts
them. They cannot admit that Trump is wrong because they are so far down the
rabbit hole with him. Things are really going to have to break for his
supporters to break with him. Demagogues survive this way and we, even the
supporters, suffer immensely until it is too late.
2) If the Democrats had any real
brains or backbone, they would force Johnson to vote for campaign reform first
since the CR is a stand alone bill. The Democrats should have a bill written
that wipes away Citizen United and puts real teeth into how much people can
contribute to campaigns at the federal level. Let’s get the money out of
politics now and add serious limitations to lobbying. I have written proposals
previously if you want more details. Also maybe through in tougher penalties
for grifting off your office.
3) And since the Democrats won’t
do anything about campaign reform and of course nor the Republicans this is
just one reason we need new parties to challenge their duopoly.
