    Well I don’t want to get into the macroeconomics of it all, but I’d guess because they have LESS net worth and political capital than their neighbors. You’re trying to make sense of a world where “donations” signify weak, and “quid pro quo” is what makes allies. One has more weight than the other.

    Not justifying that, just saying that’s an obvious fact about what is happening right now.
