I really disagree that Trump is an emotional vote. Trump is a clear thoughtful vote against big media and elite establishment. We are throwing both out. We see that both have been very harmful to our political process and Trump is the first chance to get rid of them since Reagan.
The tools used to spin a presidential election for the past 40 years have been the news media and the 30 second ad. Both are used like reins on a horse, if the voting populous is a large dumb animal. But whats not said here is that both are corrupt, owned by billionaires.
We don’t like the billionaires behind the scenes. We would rather chose the billionaire in front of us. This is the first honest election in a long time.
I can respect this
I'm curious as to how you would solve this long-term
Would you only support self-funding billionaire candidates for the Presidency and Congress?
Or would you change the First Amendment so as to prohibit private citizens from pooling funds to run ads of their choice? Because all this talk of getting politics out of money requires one of those solutions, both of which I think are worse than the status quo.
