Re: She's a Republican

So I guess your definition of a "swamp republican" is anyone Trump doesn't like? Trump's definition of a good FTC commissioner is the same as for anyone else in government - they are good if they do his bidding, and they are in the "swamp" if they don't kiss his ass.

Meaning the FTC should deny the AT&T/TW merger because Trump doesn't like CNN because they won't lick his ass like Hannity, but the FCC should support reinstating the wildly outdated UHF discount solely to benefit Sinclair Broadcasting and their merger with Tribune because Sinclair is owned by conservatives.

Trump thinks the government exists to do his bidding, anytime he doesn't get his way he whines about the "swamp" or the "deep state", when it is in fact the system of checks and balances wisely put in by the founders to prevent megalomaniacal fools like Trump from declaring themselves King.
