Once power has been gained, the objective became to keep it no matter what.

1. Media revolutions changed everything… most especially politics.
2. Politics has now become a game with all new rules.
3. The Republican Party has fine-tuned playing this game.
4. Winning and holding on to power became the only objective, no matter one’s personal beliefs.
5. Personal integrity and traditional party ideology are now fading away.
6. Democrats, focused on internal party disagreements, have been criticized for not playing this game more skillfully.
7. This game will likely lead to an autocratic government… and along with it the end of fair elections and American democracy.

Politics today has become a game with new rules that require saying whatever it takes to win and hold on to power, whether its true or not.
