      Well, yeah.

      You’d think though that the politicians would be a bit less overt about violating their stated principles, and/or that their supporters would be a bit less tolerant of it when they do.

      I mean… it’s not like a used car salesman primising to sell you a fine car then selling you a lemon. It’s like a used car salesman promising to sell you a fine car then breaking your legs.

      And the rank and file keep coming back for more.
