   I do t know the answer to who is left that can be trusted but I think we all can agree that once a well intentioned servant gets to D. C. then it’s the process of governing is the problem.
   1. Must continuously raise money because re-election is most important!!
   A. Raising money opens the door for compromise and corruption.
   2. The peer pressure to be accepted in D. C. social life is tremendous, especially for the wives of the politicians. Kids have to be in right school , must be on the right team in summer ball etc.
   3.The money raised for campaigns does not have to be paid back once a election is over. Does the term “War Chest” mean anything to people?? Of course not because people assume they spent all the money on the campaign. NOT!! That left over Money is invested and maki g money!!
   These are some of the pressures that young politicians get caught up in even though in most cases it’s what they ran against and won by speaking of needed change!!

     All of that is true, and they have to buckle under and raise money for the party in order to get committee assignments. Fighting back isn’t easy.

     There was a video series called “The Swamp” that ran on Facebook, and that I copied over to Facebook. My copies were taken down by the person who produced them because he sold the series to HBO (I think). It was the brainchild of Tom Massey, Ken Buck, Matt Gaetz and one other freshman from The Freedom Caucus.

     They explain what it was like for them. Here is the IMDB link for the HBO version:
