2. Never
I think it's part of their platform: Lie. Never admit wrongdoing, never take responsibility if found out, and rig the courts just in case.

3. Fun to watch these guys tear each other up.
Primaries: The season occuring every four years, in which Republicans say about each other what they've been thinking the last three.
