    It's always a good day when swamp critters are purged from the swamp.

    Fantastic article....nice to see a GOP'er admit his party went off the rails with that orange idiot

    ...this part must make the teahicks choke lol...

    "What you're seeing is Republicans in Congress who are bending over backwards to try to shield and deflect oversight of this behavior and accountability and consequences," Obama said.

    "This is serious. You know it is. And frankly even some of the Republicans know it is. They will say it, they just don't do anything about it. ... [They say,] 'we'll put up with crazy' in exchange for tax reform and deregulation."

    Wexner called Obama's visit to Ohio this week a "great moment for the community," according to the Dispatch.

    Maybe I have a misunderstanding of the swamp but how is a big donor to the Republican Party the swamp? Should we not want people donating to the party?

    It depends on who they are donating for.

    Notice the article did not mention who this guy supported for POTUS.

    I am sure it was Kasich, Bush, or Rubio.

    It's people like this who have destroyed the GOP and paved the way for Donald J. Trump.

    The guy has donated tens of thousands to Republican candidates and causes. There is more to the Republican Party than just the President. I have no idea who he supported for President in '16 but you're saying unless someone voted for Trump they've destroyed the party? How so?

    I am going to assume with that comment that you don't understand the establishment side of the GOP.

    This doesn't have anything to do with Trump specifically.

    There are other members of the GOP who are not establishment.

    Trump was elected by Republicans because he was not establishment and the Republican voters rejected the establishment types like Kasich, Bush, and Rubio.

    You don't win in politics without money so I don't see the benefit of losing a billionaire donor. Governorships and seats in Congress are important as well. People donate to more than just the President. The guy donated huge money to candidates in Ohio. So we just say good riddance and give all your money to Democrats now and it won't have any effect on us?

    I think some of the magic may be gone for a lot of Trump worshippers.

    Have you noticed how Dump's last remaining and most passionate supporters on this forum are the known and confirmed racists and bigots (plus Annatta)?

    Even the semi-normal Trump supporters sense there is something seriously wrong with this guy. No normal person is up at 2 am in the morning rage tweeting, becoming increasingly paranoid and incoherent, and seemingly having zero interest in learning or improving at presidential statecraft and governance.

    There is no way the semi-normal Trump supporters have failed to notice this - and it seemingly has the hallmarks of a nervous breakdown.

    Future historians will be agog with amazement that 30 million Americans thought it was a good idea to pull the lever in the voting booth for a mentally unstable Reality TV entertainer.

    What's the difference in this fat cat donating money to get progressive Republicans elected who will vote in goose step with the Democrats?

    Good damn riddance to these big progressive donors.

    They are infiltrating the GOP with progressive Democrat voting Republicans.

    That is EXACTLY who the American people rejected when electing Trump.

    Who are the progressive Republicans that walk in lock step with Democrats that he is donating to?

    If you goal is some kind of ideological purity, of how you pick Trump as your leader I have no clue, then Republicans will be out of power forever like we are in California.

    I don't know the candidates this guy supported.

    Living in Ohio I would say it's safe to say he was a Kasich supporter, who was only able to carry his own state during the primaries due to his progressive polices.

    Again, this has nothing to do with Trump specifically.

    If you understand the swamp or the establishment types in Congress then you should understand that is who the American people are voting against.

    And, none of that is the reason Republicans have no power in California.

    This is more bad news for Ohio republican candidates.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.
