What you have to realize that in one way there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats in Congress. What they all have in common is that they play the Washington game. They will cross party lines in order to keep people out who will not go along.

President Trump represents a threat to that good old boy's club. There are a lot of Republicans that fear that this administration could mean an end to their term of service. They will join with Democrats to defeat any threat to their closed club.

That is what draining the swamp is all about.
