Is Jeb Bush Buying the Nomination?

[PGreen]

Reading about the 2016 presidential campaign, it’s easy to forget that America considers itself a democracy. Here are a few recent headlines, chosen almost at random: “Jeb Bush’s eye-popping event: $100K per ticket,” “Hillary Fundraising Off to a Slow Start,” “Chris Christie Hopes To Move Past ‘Bridgegate’ With A National Fundraising Tour,” “Walker targets Romney donors, Jeb turf.” If you handed a Martian an iPad, told her to read 20 recent articles about the 2016 campaign, and then asked her how America chooses its presidents, she’d be more likely to mention money than votes.

It is amazing what money can buy, isn't it? Most of us look at that and see "HYPOCRISY " written in huge neon lights. Just name me one candidate who honestly and openly opposes further government control over the campaign finance system based on principled objection and the real world. That's really hard.

The last century? Romans were buying senate seats 2200 years ago.

I just don't think there are enough 100K doners out there to eventually come up with one billion dollars this year. Unless he finds a way to print up the difference.
