What do these people expect in return for their investment?

As one of the many many smaller contributors, I expect to see Ted Cruz elevated to a higher position of authority in the next Administration.

The big donors? Many of those give to everybody, for access safety in event of a win, as Trump said. They give to EVERYBODY, and take it off their taxes, I guess.

It costs big money to run for office.

We have 3 choices.

We continue letting big money guys donate big money to campaigns.

We go full socialist and fund campaigns through tax dollars only and only party acceptable candidates can run.

We allow billionaire aristocracy to forever control the presidency.

Imperfect it may be but I’ll go with choice number 1.
