Did you miss the first sentence?
Read it again.
Hint...smacks of hypocrisy.

I never said only Billionaires should run for president.
What I really want is eliminate all money in politics.
Shorten the advertising period to 60 days before election.
Give all candidates polling above 5% same amount of money to get their message out, funded by tax payers. Unions or any other institution will not be allowed to push any candidates or party.

But until that happens, I prefer candidates NOT IN THE POCKETS of uber rich donors.

Me too! That's why I like Cruz. He's been consistent regardless of donors. So, by your logic at least in Cruz's case - I don't know about other candidates - Cruz's donors have "owned" him to make him do what he was going to do anyway as a conservative? Or do you have an example where Cruz did a 180 based on a donor?
