Let's take your first bolded statement. So Trump doesn't want to read this book that insults him at every turn and I should be wary of that? That DOES sound like common sense, frankly. Better to simply ignore a book where the author states straight out that he can't verify the content.

The last, you believe that the taxpayer should pay for campaigns and that money should be trusted to the Feds? You don't see a problem with this, over the people themselves deciding who they would like to support? [/quote]

DP. On the second point, the problem right now is two-fold. First, there are millions of dollars going into campaigns that are completely unaccountable. We have no idea who is funding SuperPACs, including foreign money. Second, then politicians are beholden to their funders, many of whom are unnamed billionaires, then they are no longer beholden to their constituents. The decisions they make reflect that.

So personally, I am opposed to federal funding for elections, but so too, I am opposed to these secret moneypots that the politicians can tap.

I don't know the legal solution though, given the decision in Citizens United.[/quote]
