(382 posts)I think reasonable people realize that Wall Street donates to Republicans because they want them to win; they give to Secretary Clinton because they fear she will.
Paul Krugman paraphrased that just the other day, and did not give me credit. Bernie slandered his rival for the nomination after promising not to attack people, only issues. Even Krugman can see through that.
Additionally, most reasonable people understand that going up against all of the GOP money without PACs or big money support is deep water. Republicans can spend a billion dollars in Florida and Ohio and win the election against Senator Sanders. They won't be able to do it against Secretary Clinton. Although the analogy is ludicrous the way the issues have played out in this particular campaign, it is nonetheless apt: He is bringing a knife to a gun fight when it comes to campaign finances. Secretary Clinton has the only realistic and reasonable plan: Win the election, then appoint liberal justices who will overturn Citizens United.
