A retired attorney in Virginia Beach is so incensed that Republicans couldn’t repeal the Affordable Care Act that he’s suing to get political donations back, accusing the GOP of fraud and racketeering.
Bob Heghmann, 70, filed a lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court, saying the national and Virginia Republican parties and some GOP leaders raised millions of dollars in campaign funds while knowing they weren’t going to be able to overturn the law also known as Obamacare.
The GOP “has been engaged in a pattern of Racketeering which involves massive fraud perpetrated on Republican voters and contributors as well as some Independents and Democrats,” the suit said. Racketeering, perhaps better known for use in prosecuting organized crime, involves a pattern of illegal behavior by a specific group.
This is going to be one interesting case...

Until it gets quietly swept under the carpet like everything else.
I wasn't stupid enough to donate money to any political party, but I think this guy is on to something. I don't blame Trump for this, but the Republican party who has essentially give a big screw you to their supporters.
It is still the fault of Democrats that we are in the is mess to begin with, but now Republicans have put themselves in an awkward position where they have let down the voters.

Just imagine a world ... where politicians who lie to the people ... are jailed for 10 to life for crimes against the very fabric of democracy.

There really should be a way of holding political parties and individuals responsible.
