P.S. I like what you wrote about SuperPacs and I like what Trump said about PACs in general.

I appreciate Trump bringing up the issue of PACs having strange, unaccountable agendas — ‘specially after Cruz’s PAC donated to Carly?

That tricky old David Barton!

I still don’t get why Cruz’ PAC donated $500K to Snarly’s campaign. Very strange.

Trump hit the super pacs hard last night and there was a reason....Bush JUST happened to have a campaign thingy going on and right next to him was his super pace? That is against FEC laws....but is anyone saying anything? NO, because Debby ’cry baby’ Bush is the poster child to run against shillary to win the POTUS…

Only thing wrong with PACs is that, under the Constitution, "Campaign Finance Reform" is absurd.

The New York Times is allowed to spend as much money as it can pony up, advocating for whatever cockamamie policy ideas turn them on. I have to fill out a form if I express a political policy preference at a time when it might be important for me to do so. Nonsense. But, “good government.” Unless of course the Secretary of State solicits money from foreign governments for her “charity.” And her husband take in 6 figure “honoraria” from foreign governments. Then constitutional provisions like

Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
have “no controlling legal authority.”

Money actually is not speech. But I double dare you to run a big printing press, or broadcast operation, without big bucks. The unregulated use of money is central to freedom of the press. And the money of The New York Times is no cleaner than yours, or the Koch brothers’ is.
