When the corporate Dems make the argument “See, Trump is way more corrupt than us,” what the average voter hears is “OK, we’re all corrupt.” Not exactly inspiring.

The target number of former lobbyists in government jobs should be zero.

Oh please, “Corrupt” is what politicians resort to calling their opponents when they can not or dare not deliver a more incisive critique.

Say what you mean. Mean what you say.

Does Trump think a swamp is something else?

That’s actually less than I had expected…
If you had asked me to take a guess I would have said 25%, minimum.
Not that any figure over 0% would be desireable, mind you.
