Who has the gold, makes the rules.
The GOP Establishment made two promises on immigration, one to the Donor Class, and one to the gullible unfortunates it tricked into voting for them.
To the Donor Class, it promised they would leave Obama’s amnesty undisturbed.
To the poor, uneducated, and easily led dupes of the voting base, they promised they’d fight the amnesty with all they had.
They told the truth to the Donor Class. They lied to us.
The GOP Establishment promised the Donor Class it would make no waves on Obamacare. The GOP Establishment promised its stupid, backwards, dirt-poor racist base that it would destroy Obamacare, once and for all.
They told the truth to the Donor Class. They lied to everyone else.
Now you’ve come to market again with, get this, a promise you’ve made to the Donor Class, and, get this, a promise you’ve made to everyone else.
Gee, I wonder who you’ve told the truth to this time?
If the GOP convinces enough people of the truth, that there’s no difference between the parties beyond rhetoric, we might get to watch Washington DC go through a Whig moment.
After which, all will return to normal.
