Yup, the other side must have let themselves go off the rails pretty bad to miss an easy pitch like this one.

    Yep, we can blame the entire GOP. They are corrupt to the core and need to be replaced with a new conservative party that actually has values besides a willingness to be bribed.

    But I do think "Trump Era" is an apt description regardless.

      Certainly. It's really a question of magnitude at this point. If there were such a thing as a "corruption score", I'd estimate the Dems would be a 60 and the GOP around 170, where any value above 100 is an active threat to democracy.
