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.
Is Jeb Bush Buying the Nomination - The Atlantic
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.
