If you think there is even a single politician who is a paragon of virtue, truth & honesty, I have a wonderful ocean front villa in Kansas I will sell you at half price.

Why any ultra rich person contributes to politicians? Why are the Koch brothers going to contribute and spend $889 million for the 2016 campaign? Think about that.

Even if we assume you’re right, and every high profile donor and politician are corrupt, how do you think we should solve that problem? Do you want to further limit campaign contributions (and if so, do you think it is Constitutional to do so)? Or do you think the answer is too just vote for self-funded candidates like Trump (and if so, how would it affect the country if public offices were filled exclusively, or almost exclusively, with wealthy people who could afford the massive cost of political campaigns)?

Hard to choose between false dichotomy and straw man in your argument at this point.

I haven't seen a cogent or effective rebuttal to the points I listed on why Trump is not a conservative. Not on Kelo/private property, universal government healthcare, support for corrupt politicians and other liberals, etc.

These are not the indications of a conservative politician.

Your rebuttals seem to be that you support Kelo (or don't know what it is) and that all politicians - businessmen as well - have to be corrupt to succeed.
