They are skilled at playing the wind, pandering to get votes, and slight of hand. None of them will speak the truth and they all have some angle they are playing in the back rooms.
If they say they are doing their job for the great people of this country you'd be an idiot to believe them. They are in it to feed their own ego and fill their bank accounts, nothing more, nothing less. They are all whores and laugh at the stupid unwashed masses after the cameras turn off.
