or as Alito would call it, money that doesn't have to be disclosed. They project, all one has to do is listen to what they say. They blame George Soros for pumping millions of dollars into the DNC when the truth of the matter is the Koch brothers, the Mercers, ALEC, Federalist Society, DeVos family have all been pumping tons of money into the GQP. The Federalist Society picks Supreme court justices and ALEC writes Bills for them. GQPers do nothing but fund raise which basically amounts to quid pro quos.
