DeSantis doesn't have Trump's money so of course he's going to need to court donors.

Oh, like Hillary...Just what America needs...

“Trump is a member of the donor class - he’s a billionaire. DeSantis doesn’t have Trump’s money so of course he’s going to need to court donors.”

which is why:

1. the gazallionaire elite fear and hate Trump because they can’t buy him ...

2. desantis, like ALL other politicians except Trump, are completely beholden to the gazillionaires who buy their elections for them ...

Sacks’s history as a donor to both Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney will likely raise eyebrows about his involvement with Ron-----Ya Think???

at what point of no return, will his clintonesque supporters and cadre of big buck acolytes... abandon him... what if he NEVER gets over 15-20 percent of the conservative vote?

how will they jettison him and vote for hillary who IS RUNNING...

Trump can win as a populist party leader.
but the gop party needs to go the way of the dinosaurs... extinction.

the rockefeller clan needs to be done away with or move out of this country permanently. They must learn we don’t need them, we dont want them and their money is no good any more...

Does that indicate that you believe that huge donors should get anything they want from politicians, regardless of the effects upon the rest of the population?

ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS SHOULD BE ANONYMOUS. Requiring anonymity of donors leaves them the option to give to the party or candidate whose policies best suit their needs or desires. It makes it necessary for the politicians to make clear their positions on a range of issues to appeal to a wide range of donors.

Lobbying should be done on a similar basis; asking that legislation be passed or policies be instituted is fine, but the identity of those requesting it remains unknown to the legislators. The "Payoff Prevention Act", if you will.

And by the way, that would be US. WE pay for the ride. Through dot Gov's hands in our pockets.
