This stuff actually epitomizes what's wrong with US government, imo. It attempts to exist in as much of a vacuum as possible, and usually succeeds. By completely ignoring wide-spread discussion outside of itself, it gets to play this lame internal game where the only ideas that matter are the carefully selected ones pitched at them by their opponents within the government or somewhat more rarely, the media.
It baffles me. You can open a history book and obliterate the platforms for the entire Republican field right now but instead people play this silly game where they pretend the election and the candidate's talking points are actually legitimate. I assume there're equally damning skeletons in the Democrats' closet if they're so willing to ignore all that bullshit instead of use it as a massive ammo reserve.
