They are playing to their audience. Their lines change with the audience. We are the audience, and we choose not to see them as actors, but to instead see them as campaigning in reality and speaking truth.

Think about a play or a movie, if no one buys the tickets or shows up at the performance, there is no drama.
Every time we show up and believe the lines, tune into the sound bites, and read the tweets, we support the drama and further the careers of the actors — the hypocrites. If we want a government that represents the people, then we need to start electing people and not actors.
