To the point: Do you think Trump’s wealth allows him to be “beholden to nobody”? Do you think that because other candidates raise funds and rely on PAC money their motives are necessarily conflicted?

If so, then you are implying that because of his wealth, Trump is necessarily better than other candidates.

But *Soros* proves that such a contention is wrong.

To the point: Ok...

Do you think Trump’s wealth allows him to be “beholden to nobody”? Yes

Do you think that because other candidates raise funds and rely on PAC money their motives are necessarily conflicted?  Yes, moreso than someone who doesn't.

If so, then you are implying that because of his wealth, Trump is necessarily better than other candidates.  In a no-strings attached way?  Certainly.  Not in an ideological way.

But *Soros* proves that such a contention is wrong.  That's where you fall off the Turnip Truck.

The issue is being behonden to someone.  It isn't ideologies!

HELLO!

This isn't an argument that Trump's ideology has to be better than Soros' ideology, because Trump self-funded.

It is an argument about self-funding vs not self-funding.

Two men walk into a car dealership.  

One walks in alone and pays for his own car with cash.

One man walks in with another person, and the other person hands over cash to buy his car.

Which man was more likely to be beholden to someone?

Does it matter what a third person did?  Thought?  Voted?  No.  No.  No.

One man is more beholden.  End of story.
