Are drunken Trump supporters easily hypnotized? My guess would be, yes, they are!
And do you spin the cardboard spiral, or are they drunk enough it spins all by itself?

for some supporters in the Trump & Hillary camps, campaign finance reform means contributions with crisper, newer bills. For others its writing out a huge check; for others it’s creating a PAC that no one knows about or understands.

Mind blowing to think of the amounts of money spent.

I think no one should be able to spend a bloody cent. Equal newspaper coverage for all and a couple of TV slots, and that’s it. No travel. No signs. Nothing.

British system anyone? Short campaigns & limits on money spent. But then again, that just makes too much sense.

Michael you can’t make “cents” out of sense.
Haven’t you heard?
In a capitalistic system it is ONLY ABOUT making profitable “cents” out of EVERYTHING!
Monetize thoughts and positions or DON’T think or have views.
Very simple system …
But of course, there are always dreamers such as yourself. Blaspheme!!!

–Ah yessss,,, I have a dream..that one daaaay…down in the halls of congress in Washington D.C. and in the watering holes of Georgetown that little Bernie Sanders supporters and little Elizabeth Warren supporters will hold hands in the spirit of brotherhood. I have a dream… –And the lobbyists and special interests, with their lips dripping with the lust for greed and profit, will be vanquished. And the crooked ways will be made straight made and the shackled people will be made free. –I have a dream… that one day our Constitution, written for all, will apply to all, with an amendment to outlaw Citizen Untied decisions for all time. I have a dream… –I have a dream… that public monies be used to fund campaigns..to give people a single payer health plan…to send students to college tuition free..to fill pot holes and paint rust and repair our aging infrastructure…I have a dream..
–And for this let’s be willing to march together..to sing together…to badmouth Donald Trump together..to go to jail together…So some day we will be free..

Well, we can hope …….. now, just how many brownies make a dozen?
