the amount of dollars spent on this election cycle by both sides is obscene... this money could have gone to ANYTHING to benefit the american people, health care, early childhood daycare, hell even a full blown USN DDG or a few F35s. All this cash spent on commercials and ads. INSANE!! citizens united must be overturned. I can't take the relentless ads anymore here in PA
