But what if, just as a possibility, people who like Trump aren't interested in his raving piles of crazy?
What if the people prefer a candidate who isn't so far in debt to huge money donors that they think he might, he just might, serve the public's interests rather than the huge money's?
Yet, we don't see anybody else forgoing huge donations from the hyper-rich (except maybe Bernie Sanders, but he's on the left and he doesn't really count in the other candidates' minds). No, they love the rich folks (and their money) and are only too eager to let themselves be bought so they can be President.
Being a flunky president, having power only at the pleasure of the rich, is better than no power at all, I guess. If you're too poor to donate millions (or a large fraction of), that's your problem. What do you expect s President, or even Congress, to do about it? It's not really their job to help out the voters that elected them is it?
Oh wait, yes it is. Or it used to be.
