From now on, we must only allow billionaires to run for President, because they don’t need to take loans for their campaigns and therefore are certain to represent the interests of the common voter.

Makes perfect sense, don’t it?

He’s not taking loans for his campaign.

What are you, a union janitor? Because you clearly have no clue how mega corporations the size of Trump’s work.

You know what I would like to see, a complete revamp of election protocol, but it’s a pipedream. Wouldn’t it be nice if anyone, regardless of their rich backers or private bank accounts, that was up to it could run for President. We’d never get a Lincoln nowadays, fr’instance, because some backwoods boy, even though brilliant, would not have the money, backing or sophistication to run.

What makes perfect sense is that Ted didn’t disclose those loans on his FEC form - not that he took out the loans. Oh yeah,he lied about where the money came from too.

I guess some want only whichever of those 63 that are eligible for the American presidency to run. When's Zuckerberg eligible to run?

Actually, assuming that the billionaire is self-made, it does make a whole lot more sense than the system we have now, where the only way to win a major office is to sell your ass like a cheap hooker to one party or another and then be owned by their donors for the rest of your career. Plus, have you ever wondered how people with moderate net worth when they get elected are millionaires when they leave office? Hmmm.
