This is actually even funnier than it at first appears.

We’re constantly hearing the talking heads and chattering classss bemoaning the influence of big money in out elections. Now, we have someone who has shown how it is done on a shoestring budget. Now you have media morons moaning about how he’s not spending money. I wonder why that is. Could it have something to do with the fact that the primary beneficiary to insane campaign spending it, in fact, the media themselves?

This is something most folks dont think about, but if the media really wanted to gdo away with the advantage that money gives a campaign, they’d be offering free radio, television, and newspaper ads to candidates. Notice how that never actually happens?

I’d like to add that I am not particularly a Trump supporter. I’d much rather have Cruz, but in the end, I figure we could do worse than the Donald.

You nailed it. People whine about big money buying elections, so here’s a guy who takes a commanding lead with just two day’s pay - and they’re freaking out.

Reversing the claim Trump should drop out for want of real vote support, he’s doing so well because he’s entirely held up by voter support - certainly not by big money.
