"Trump is not bought."

Therefore you accept the notion that only billionaires who can fund their own campaigns should run for office. Everyone else, who depend on contributions, is "bought."

That’s what living in an oligarchy is all about. Rich people running the government for other rich people. Oh wait, Trump is different. He’s like Robin Hood with a bank account and a jet.

Jeb Bush’s ratio is 15/1 Super Pac money over individual small donors.

Nobody wins like that. If Trump were accepting real money, his ratio would be 30/2 small donors over Super Pacs. That is what Trump means when he spends his own money and shuts down a PAC supporting him.

Actually, I don't think Trump has spent a great deal of money compared to the squandering of large sums by his opponents.

Like him or don't like him, but you can't say that he's spent his way to the top.

And, the point that people forget when Trump is hitting the others over their obsession with raising funds is this: It's not his job to make it easy or comfortable for them.

Trump's job in the primary is to beat them.

Well there's nothing that proves otherwise. And the buying continues even after they're elected too, probably even more so.

Maybe you've never heard of lobbyists.
