5. Having a small army of presstitutes is a centerpiece of the Gingrich-era GOPee

And they've exported that strategy to far-right parties overseas.

Argentina's Macri, Brazil's Bolsonazi and Hungary's Orbán, among others, won elections by filling cable news with gish-galloping loudmouth surrogates - and with help from a corrupt judiciary not unlike Ken Starr.

But chicanery only gets you so far, for so long.

All of these characters are have either been rejected for a second term, or are so unpopular they're already plotting either a state of siege or Iberian exile.

Cheeto definitely falls in this second category.

They are two of the biggest nut jobs in Washington. madaboutharry Sep 2019 #1
