God only knows what dirt they uncovered on the Republicans. Republicans like to think they stand on the high moral ground cause of anti abortion, religion, etc... However, when you have people like Dennis Hastert, Newt Gingrich, Mark Sanford, Mark Foley, and many more in your party then you know there are many uncovered skeletons in the closet. |
I am sure wikileaks has things on the Republican Party, but I doubt it's that damning. Trump himself has already been relieved of all or almost all of his skeletons and he still won the election. The whole point of draining the swamp is to get the hypocritical Republicans out so we can get people who walk the walk as well as less neocons. It really just depends on the timing when it comes to the leaks because if they wait till general elections then obviously it's too late for the GOP to react and they will be stuck with bad candidates with scandal. However, it would actually benefit the party if done prior to the primaries. Using Hastert or Foley as proof of anything when they represent two people versus 300+ of Republicans currently in congress. Having 1 or 2 scandals by a politician that is no where near the top of the party per cycle isn't very much to go off of. Democrats meanwhile had corruption at the highest level of the party including fixing the primary election for Hillary and controlling the media in her favor. It's a night and day difference.
