Be they Democrat or Republican, political insiders slow walk issues because a problem solved is one less issue to raise money from donors

In a a Substack article titled Trump saved Indiana in 2016Don Surber reveals a plethora of information about Hoosier state politics that many, or most, of us have no more than an inkling about (if that much), and related issues, be they regarding former Governor Mike Pence, Dan Coats, or Ronna McDaniel. 

Naturally, Karl Rove the architect of Dubya’s 2000 and 2004 elections, and the Wall Street Journal hated [the Indiana primary] because both are Establishment Republicans who want to do as little as possible. Most of the Republicans (and Democrats) in Congress seem to be going through the motions until they die or collect their pensions … 
… Trump picked [then-Governor Mike Pence] as his running mate and saved Indiana for Republicans in November [2016]. … Pence paid Trump back by siding with the deep state and Nancy Pelosi in the January 6 [2021] charade. 

Speaking of VP Pence, Don Surber proceeds to explain the politicians of all lands, and especially the RINOs, in one single sentence (in bold as well as in the headline).

By GOP, Rove refers not to Republican voters but to the Grand Old Party of insiders. Small donors send them money and they party.

 … From Rove’s standpoint as a political insider, you can see why he is so upset with President Trump because he gets things done.

Be they Democrat or be they Republican, political insiders slow walk issues because a problem solved is one less issue to raise money from donors.

Why do you think Congress has not changed immigration law in 40 years despite their repeated cries for reform?

In addition, that explains the intense hostility Donald Trump faces from politicians everywhere, be it in America or abroad. It is something there (willfully? blinded) allies in the mainstream media refuse to acknowledge. That the animosity that Trump is the subject of derives not from any sense of fact-filled rationality from but from partisanship that will showcase their actions or, rather, their lack of actions.
