You're right, both sides play these cards to fire up their bases. Both sides already have their huge multi-zillion dollar money brokers, but they still need to fire up their bases to reap even more of the lil' people's cash and pander for votes. Everyone is shooting to get that significant 'middle of the road' type voter, so they push what they decide may work to get then to lean one way or the other, and pretend the rest doesn't exist. In short, politics is bullshit. As with everything, it's all about the power and the money. I doubt most career politicians have any real core values. Term limits could've been a possible solution, but they killed that as quickly as it became a thing.

Spot on. Definitely won't hear commentary like this on CNN or FOX anytime soon.
