    they won’t get the donations for the next campaign, that’s what. all that money will go to their opponent and the companies will probably take out a PAC to run ads against them.

    politicians aren’t self-sacrificial noble people either. they are in it for the money and power, and for the huge benefits they will get post-political career by coming lobbyists themselves.

      But if they can’t control you in the first place they would go against you to get someone they can.
