Takes all kinds I suppose.
Good post (albeit based on anecdotal type evidence, I agree w the general sentiment).
There's bad politicians on both sides of the aisle - just like there are bad doctors, police, masseuses, etc - but nothing worse than the Maxine Waters types who grab the bullhorn to tell how badly the gop will treat her poor, mostly minority constituents if they are elected. Meanwhile, she's as corrupt as can be, lives outside of her district, and has not changed her district for the better. She's the Al Sharpton of elected officials.
I used to date a Democratic congressman's daughter (2nd district CT years ago for many terms). She was a cool, great looking chick. But her father, who started as a labor organizer for some poor fruit pickers in Guatemala, eventually became super rich, partly through his second marriage to the heir of a big Manhattan construction firm and mostly through his own shady business dealings, using his Dem power and connections. If you're going to be a "champion for the poor" don't come around for their votes every 2-4 years and ignore them the rest of their lives. All these inner cities (like Chiraq) are in shambles because these corrupt dems just took their constituents for a ride, using fear mongering and race-baiting. He's far from perfect and makes some terrible moves sometimes imo, as man and POTUS, but Trump got it right when he said, "What have you got to lose? All your worst cities have been run by lib-tards and you keep giving them votes like fools."
It's like a corrupt cop who come looking for their payoffs to leave your gambling spots alone. You can't be a gangster and a cop. Be a cop or a gangster. There should be a special place reserved in hell for all those poseurs who conned people while they reaped the ill-gotten gains from those same peoples' votes.
So yeah, live lhe win rates . . .
