So the Repug scum line up all the billionaires to fund them and their terrible terrible causes, thus cutting down drastically on the endless (my word) "demands for money" from their own rank and file.

Then then the Democratic party and its affiliates have to send endless (my word) (I get them too) requests for money to their rank and file.

Rank and file Democrats get pissed off at the endless (my word) requests daily from so many different affiliates that they:

get turned off
stop contributing
sit out the election

So then, Citizens United: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
