Sorry Virginia. To the victor belongs the spoils.

Sorry Virginia. To the victor belongs the spoils.

Years back the Mahoning Valley had a very famous lawyer, Democrat Party lawyer. He was attacked by Republicans and other Democrats. He ran the party with an iron fist, and some claimed he was the mob’s favorite lawyer. Nepotism was a tool he used. To the victor belongs the spoils.

I openly supported two Democrats. Jim Trafficant and Marc Dann. Both promised me jobs and both were convicted of crimes. One went to jail and one resigned as the Attorney General. Both believed in the slogan To the victor belongs the spoils.

For years that’s how the Democrats ran local, state, and national politics. This is where gerrymandering comes into play. Blacks and Latinos vote for Democrats they get into office with gerrymandering districts.  To the victor belongs the spoils.

Now with control of the Supreme Court the Republicans are fixing the wrongs created in the south and some midwestern states. To the victor belongs the spoils.
