When people give you 10s of thousands of dollars saying you are the person I trust to govern our nation well, how do you blow them off when they tell you this or that is really important to them? You dont. You look for a way to satisfy them and at the same time keep the little guy mollified. And then the bad guys the Rs tell the mollified that they are being screwed over by bleeding heart liberals aka socialists who are giving your hard earned cash, as little as it is, to the lazy, druggies, and serial rapist immigrants.
The more important question is: what long term strategy can change that? We need a different strategy and it seems to get that, we probably do need different leaders. How do we accomplish that?
