Don't discount ANY democrat nor many republicans!
A couple days after Donald Trump won the election in 2016, I was having a discussion with somebody and he asked me if I thought Donald Trump was really going to drain the swamp or just add his version of the swamp to an already corrupt Washington DC
I told him what he and I thought didn’t matter. What matters is the what the entrenched powers believe. If they believe there would be a chance that they would lose their power, they’re gonna do whatever it takes to hang onto it.
The powers that be in in Washington DC preferred either a Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton to run in 2016 because those are both known entities to them. They win either way. But Donald Trump was an unknown to them. And they couldn’t take any chances
