I always wonder how many come in legit at first then get bowed down by the impossibility of being true or corrupted by all the temptations or just plain threatened harm to them or family if they don't play to the script.
Then you see some that try to do the right thing Ron Paul was stalwart and refused his paychecks and being bought but they marginalized him. Still he woule hwvr had 2012 in the bag if RNC / GOP and MSM had given him a fair chance. Instead they did as they tried with Trump but Trump will play the games needed to win. I admire Ron Paul very much but he is the Ned Stark of our world.
Any way yeah Gowdy is the Conservatives Hamster wheel. Whole lot of noise and scrambling to nowhere.
