One detects no small measure of hypocrisy among these fatcat donors who are protected under the Citizen s United case in dominating elections with their campaign contributions because those contributions are the equivalent of free speech. Yet these same big donors would deny Donald Trump his opportunity to speak.

The irony is that Trump is himself a "big donor." It's just that he's donating to his own campaign. None of these other "big donors" has the nerve to run themselves, they have to hide behind other people.
So it's really a fight between the big donors themselves. But it also shows the other candidates to be puppets of secret behind-the-scenes people. Who wants to vote for a puppet after the puppets out themselves by boycotting the debate as a temper tantrum?

I seem to remember also they tried to keep Alan Keys out of the debates years ago.
