I worked at a small Beltway Bandit-style federal contracting firm. The CEO bragged to me that he was the Democrat and his wife was the Republican in their relationship. His wife gave to Republican candidates. He gave to Democrat candidates. Through their duplicitous actions they could be assured they always had a seat at the table, but had plausible deniability that they were apolitical mercenaries just buying a seat at the table. My point, money is what most of these politicians actually care about.
