After this USSC decision, just heap the corpses and pray

3. This decision may facilitate a lot more people running for office...

...just not the right kind of people.

What the OP is about is that this change has the effect of privileging candidacies, which is odd. A person's influence power in an election increases the more candidates there are in the race.

So you get a consortium of 500 RWers willing to pony up $2,000 to each of 1000 candidacies. That works out the same as each of them giving $100,000 to one candidacy.

And the "Hillary is a criminal" Party is born. Because I don't see anything that limits the existence of a Party with the sole policy agenda of attacking Hillary.

And that Party, now funded, can operate the same as any other Party with all the powers we grant a cadidacy... like requiring TV stations sell them ads.

And so on.

It is a peculiar wrinkle, to limit donations based on the number of distinct candidacies.
