You're not making sense, dude. And your analogy is wack, too.
It's their job to break the rules/cheat? Is it a sportsball player's job to try and break their rivals' legs?
Do you blame workers when they lose their jobs when factory jobs are shipped overseas?
I'd be happy to place some blame on lazy/disinterested citizens, complicit corporate media networks, the effect of legalized bribery in politics, but to go the other way and actually say you support candidates doing whatever it takes to win is gross
Your analogies don’t fit this scenario at all.
Have you ever worked with a kiss-ass? Someone who constantly sucks up to the boss and is always trying to impress them, even if they’re not the best at their job? Imagine the boss giving that employee preferential treatment over the other employees. More breaks, days off, buys them lunch, etc.
Who is wrong? The leader or the employee?
A politician’s job during a campaign is self-promotion. Of course they would try to ply favor from their convention. It’s absolutely expected behavior from a person in that position. It’s the conventions job to say no and keep it fair.
I’m not saying Hillary was ethical, but that Debbie was responsible.
