This would be entertaining if it wasnât so sad that heâs just exposing what weâve always know about politics.
Unfortunately, not everyone has known this or wanted to admit it or â in some cases â thought it was such a bad thing as it is just the way the system works, and they could game it.
Trump, despite what else you can say about him, is exposing a lot of things to people who wouldnât normally consider them or realize them. Sanders is exposing the extent of the system to those who already had an idea.
The next presidential election should be even more interesting, if we get there.

But at the same time, their current crop of politicians has grown up in Young Republicans organizations (well funded by the usual suspects) where hardball parliamentary maneuvers, not-quite-bribery, vote-stealing and fraud are apparently pretty much standard currency. So at the upper levels this kind of thing is not merely OK, itâs to be expected. And anyone who doesnât do it is seen as a chump.

"Youâre basically saying, âDelegate, listen, weâre going to send you to Mar-a-Lago on a Boeing 757, youâre going to use the spa, youâre going to this, youâre going to that, we want your vote.â
Call me crazy but Iâm really going to need some specificity on"this"&" that" before committing. I hear the Cruz camp is offering All-Rapture Access Passes, and the swag is to die for.

Trump has said that heâs been buying politicians for years.
Where did he think the money went?
Exactly. This is how Trump operates. Make lots of empty promises full of luxurious fantasies. Picture yourself at the Mar-a-Lago spa, sipping champagne and trading quips with beautiful people. Yes, this could all be yours - just vote for me.
All as hollow and worthless as his campaign rhetoric.

Little rich boy figures out GOP politics! Stop the presses!!

Trump is a notorious skinflint. He wouldnât hand out cash if he could get away with âgiftsâ that cost him little to nothing. Just like his charitable contributions detailed in his tax returns, which show that most of his donations were rounds of golf, or money donated by others and redistributed through his foundation.

Most people who donât live or work in New York are intimidated by it. Trump is a product of New York and fairly mild, actually. New York is tough the way Texas wishes it were.

So Trumpâs entourage is trying both the carrot (free trip to Mar-a-Lago) and stick (vote for me or we visit your hotel room) approaches.

âLook, nobody has better toys than I do,â he told reporters, according to the New York Times. âI can put them in the best planes and bring them to the best resorts anywhere in the world.â
âYouâre basically buying these people,â Trump continued. âYouâre basically saying, âDelegate, listen, weâre going to send you to Mar-a-Lago on a Boeing 757, youâre going to use the spa, youâre going to this, youâre going to that, we want your vote.â
Sounds like he has given this way too much thought to just talk about it⌠Like the guy who denies raping that âplastered woman I met at 3:00am outside Tootâs Bar who asked me for a cigarette and a lift home before I took her to the secluded rest area off I-70 and made sure no one else was around before I had sex while she was passed out.â
