that kind of scenario plays out just like that for many of the pols in DC and elsewhere, they get drunk or dosed then get video'd in compromising situations. They are allowed or even helped to achieve their positions but they are completely controlled the whole way. For both parties.

You can see better every year who is comp'd and who isn't, the pols who give fiery speeches but never actually do anything vs the ones who are despised and shut out and harangued all the time who actually try to do things that line up with their fiery speeches.
