Retaliation is a virus in the body of the American body politics and a stigma to the political process. Instead for the US representatives or Senators vote their conscious and the interests of his/her constituency they are intimidated through steps of retaliation to ignore all that and follow the orders of the orders of the party bosses or Donald Trump himself.
