Cruz’s perfect family - Ted snorted cocaine, and talks about it.

"Pro-Ted Cruz groups have 10 times as much campaign cash as pro-John Kasich groups"

So $20 vs. $2?

If you could see some of the numbers I see you wouldn’t be able to eat for three days. One lady is gaining on $3 million dollars. Remember, campaigns can only accept $2,700 from each individual.

That’s like saying trailer park dwellers have 10 times as much money as homeless shelter dwellers...

“Remember, campaigns can only accept $2,700 from each individual.”

Remember, it’s very easy to donate $27,000 by giving it to 10 straw donors

While that seems true, how would that make him any different than most every candidate and even most Presidents ?

Isn't that how primaries, caucuses, and eventually the general election have been done for a long time ?

This is what we get from allowing our leaders to alter the Election system so the candidates can benefit from unlimited amounts of money and hide the donors from public information.

We need to have a spending cap for Presidential Elections (and others as well). If they were forced to be 'conservative', they would spend their time and money more efficiently.

We live in a world of instantaneous communications and all that needs to be known about candidates could be dispersed to the public in two weeks, and at little cost.

Why do we continue to accept that the only way to get a good candidate is to get the one who spends the most money ?

Cruz did Cocaine.

But does that have anything to do with his ability to take on the office of President ?

You can look up anyone's name at the FDC website and they are limited to $2,700 per individual.

Small time bundlers who have to do a lot of work.

That's why our fearless government leaders made up PAC's and SUPERPAC'S. No limit to donations, and the candidate gets plausible deniability if the PAC does some underhanded dealing.

Are you talking about donations to a candidate, or donations made to a PAC/SUPERPAC ?

Yes it probably does.

What does it say about America, when out of 300 million people we can’t find someone who didn’t do Cocaine for the most important job in the world?

A campaign. I’ve never had a thing to do with a SuperPAC. I also raised money for the late Fred Thompson and a county party many years ago.
