If it's legal sources then it should be tapped.

Ridiculous to restrict our candidates fundraising efforts when it will be so grossly abused by the tRumpublicon opposition.

The 4x SCOTUS judges that decided against Citizens United were all appointed by Democratic Party elected Presidents that did not restrict their own campaign financing.. Indicating that just because candidates/elected/appointed officials tap these support sources provided a conflict of interest.

Anyone who really believes that candidates/politicians are automatically "bought off" just because of contributions made to them comes from larger money sources should really reflect and evaluate their own ethical standards and stop projecting.

The only important question on this issue is.. If the Democratic Party secures a majority in the Senate, and holds the house, and if that majority manages to pass campaign reform legislation.. will the Democratic Party candidate sign it off or veto it?

I don't feel we have any candidates that would commit political suicide and veto any such bill. Not a 1. I do feel every tRumpublicon will do everything they possibly can to kill such a bill. There are a few of our Senators and Reps that I question if they would support.

This is a topic that matters most with our Rep's and Senators running, much less so with the POTUS candidates.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
