I don't think campaigning should even be allowed. You can hire a PR guru and with a little polish we can be convinced that any turd is fit for office. None of that Madison avenue poly razz a ma tazz should be allowed. Any candidate that wants to be considered should be required to hand write a resume and post it online. This would cut through the crap in short order.

People should be able to donate to the candidate of their choice. All transparent so voters can see who gets want and when.

Corporations are not people and ought to have no right to contribute to political campaigns. They can always lobby Congress.

Money in topics is literally bribery.

Would you take, let's say, a World Series game between the Yankees and Reds, whoever the $#@!, seriously if you knew the Yankees gave millions of dollars to the ump? Of course not. You'd probably want criminal charges levied as well.

Why is money in politics any different?
