  1. For the GOP, It's all about the pursuit of power, and the egregious abuse of that power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means.

The corruption we see in the Republican party today can be defined as InstitutionalDepravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means.
