We don’t like the billionaires behind the scenes. We would rather chose the billionaire in front of us. This is the first honest election in a long time.

I'm curious as to how you would solve this long-term

Would you only support self-funding billionaire candidates for the Presidency and Congress?

Or would you change the First Amendment so as to prohibit private citizens from pooling funds to run ads of their choice? Because all this talk of getting politics out of money requires one of those solutions, both of which I think are worse than the status quo.

I am not about getting money out of politics. I am about getting a little transparency back into politics. You tell me how the Ryan budget supports conservative values and I will support republican elite billionaires. But it seems your billionaires are not very conservative. They don’t really have my ideals. In fact, they really only want my vote and are happy to say anything to get it. Like Hilliary’s southern accent that shows up when she is in Birmingham, your republicans just speak with a conservative accent.
