I said the Democrats were the most powerful political party, she said the Republicans. I asked why the Republicans, she said "Because they cheat & break the rules". She was right.

Don't expect Republicans to hold themselves to the same standard they've held Democrats in the past. As this election cycle shows, you can be the lowest of the low and reach the highest highest levels of office in the Republican Party, as long as you suit their needs. If Trump doesn't get "tax reform" passed you can expect Republicans to get a conscience quickly, if he does get it passed and I'll take them a lot longer.
