Force all the Dems to fight for campaign finance reform so they can run ads claiming hypocrisy every time a Democrat takes a big donation. And of course, even if they do make campaign finance laws the mega corps will still have their corporate freedom of speech to sway election. I think it will take the Dems to have the house, Senate and Presidency before it can be passed. The rest will have to wait for a new scotus or a Constitutional amendment.
