I don’t like any pay-to-play scheme, but Obama was a master at this too:
publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/barack-obamas-ambassador-legacy-plum-postings-for-big-donors/
Pointing out that the Obama presidency had issues, does not make Trump any cleaner.
That’s what the GOP does whenever they are presented with FACTS that they don’t like. “But-OBAMA!” “But- HILLARY!” “But- BILL!” weak.
I’m sure the Republicans would love for us to think that what you linked to is what is being talked about here, but the Trump situation is somewhat more devious, they were withholding additional funds for the actual Senate confirmation, something I doubt you’ll find in any president’s history in recent memory.
“They were withholding additional funds for the actual Senate confirmation” = the guy doing the donating would only donate more if he could get his stalled nomination out of committee. Too bad the Republican senator from Idaho was honest enough to put a stop to it. I really don’t think this is something you can or should pin on the RNC (who was doing fundraising, like the DNC does) or Trump (who did the nominating but he’s busy doing other “orange man bad” things to be outraged about).
I count ~27 megadonars (more than $500K each) to Obama and the Democratic party who became ambassadors here: www.opensecrets.org/obama/ambassadors.php
“attempted bribery” is still bribery.
So maybe you’d agree that the contributor (who made the pay to play suggestion) should be charged with that, and I’m sure that’ll scare off many Republican( >> & Democratic party << )megadonars who want to be U.S. ambassadors. Also I’m sure this charge wouldn’t actually result in a conviction because there’s plenty of precedent on the Democratic side that they play this game.
You’re still making a false equivalency, there have been no known republican nor democratic nominees that have done this in the past. you’re previous comment mentioned that someone put a stop to it, but it’s obvious they DIDN’T, cause the guy’s an Ambassador.
It’s almost like the 17th Amendment removed an important check & balance to our system, and allowing direct election of our senators was a horrible idea.
