(Sorta-related: if you want to see liberals short-circuit, show them clips of the recent Cruz/Carlson chat — conservatives calling each other out. Minds will be blown.)

None of the scumbags that you see in the media or Washington care about their "causes", just staying in power and keeping the grift alive.
