Pelosi refuses to let go of control of the Democrats.

I agree, the longer the better. She's already deep into cognitive decline, and the more damage she does before she finally dies, the better.

If Pelosi is still there by the midterms, the Democrats may have to call in The Big Guns, nom sayin?

No donors... each candidate gets the same amount of exposure via the media outlets... now sure they will hate this because they get rich from campaigns but its time for them to give back... the media outlets could still sell ad space to make up for their loss...or the taxpayer can fund the media time... other nations do this and so can we... but we can't with your attitude of it can't be done... of course it can be done...

Public funding kicks in at some point. Up until then, donors make the difference with face and name recognition. You would see some random guy all of a sudden showing up in ads all over the place, saying, "I'm going to run for office, sign my petition". Long before the campaign even starts, he would have an enormous advantage over anyone without big donors.

Isn't that how it works now?... the only difference will be the source of the money... it would make politicians have to serve us not their donors... it could work man...you could have endorsements from people leaving office after they are term limited...
