    I´ve got some informations the last two days. Read about Elizabeth Warren etc but not enough to make a choice at this point.

    What really moves me, since I´m interested in Americas election contest and what I really always wanted to ask you Americans is:
    What do you think about all this heaps of money they use for it?

    I´m still wondering thinking about how many and needed good things they could do with only half of it!
    Don´t want to offend somebody...I´m just interested...

    The huge amount of money poured into our political campaign system is pretty universally despised among the American people. Only the craziest conservatives and free market cult members approve of it.
    I think we all agree on this point.

    Single terms will really help as no one would have to be concerned about raising $ and re election.

    Can't there just be a cap on campaign funds? Get ("earn"?) X amount, and that's it.

    the biggest inherent flaw is that the top office is always inhabited by the super rich. you simply cannot get there unless you are shitting money. it's disgusting.

    he was worth over a million, so no, you are correct. but you have to admit that 99% of the candidates are in the 1% of wealth.

    It's not about the money to them, it's POWER. These people don't ever pay for anything.

    I think Clinton is going down. I just don't see how she survives the current news. The Democratic party can do way better then this. If you watch this...yes I know fox news...it just seems way too dirty to me. It's the ultimate collusion of money, politics, power etc. My guess is she drops out shortly and Warren runs.

    Russians? Uranium? Unreported donations? hmm...

    This is the person that liberals are trusting to pull off a redistribution of wealth? To take down those evil one percenters?

    Yeah this is big, nasty news. Everyone knew the Clintons were corrupt, but it is now too big to sweep under the rug.

    News flash, all big politicians are corrupt especially those with enough money to make it to POTUS.

    The good news for Hillary is that this news is coming out 1.5 years before the election. That's a lot of time for the Kim Kardashians of the world to wave shiny objects in front of us and we shall soon forget.

    Plus, the spin doctors have shitloads of time to turn this frown upside down.

    It keeps getting nastier and nastier. Nevertheless, idiotic sheeple will vote for her. Isn't it great that the leaders of the world are also the biggest criminals...guess that hasn't changed over the ages.

    She's too busy making heavy metal records with swear words, haha!

    Her and Al being separated (eventually to divorce, no doubt) might not set well with voters.

    I would bet a paycheck this doesn't "take her down." She more than likely, for better or worse, will be the democratic nominee.

    All candidates for president have baggage. Hillary's seems to have gotten heavier with this latest uranium business but it's very amazing how the Clinton's manage to bury the corruption so well. We'll see. A big part of the outcome will be who can best stow their baggage and do so in a timely manner.

    Edit: I have to add one of my ridiculously idealistic comments: wouldn't it be great if just for once we could have a candidate who has nothing to hide?

    But wait! You have to have a shit load of money to get their in the first place. Strike that little piece of idealism. image

    Has Hillary been convicted of wrong doing? No.

    So as all can see I picked Hilliary. Cause I like her? No. Cause I want Bill back? No.

    Cause only Dem that appears to have a chance of beating those that pander to Idiocracy and may allow this support to allow another Roberts, Scalia or Thomas.

    Unlimited fucking corporation campaign donations. Fuck fuck fuck.

    It is sad, Callen, that as usual we will all either throw away our vote on a third party candidate (I've done that before) or vote for a candidate we're not really all that crazy about- the lesser of two evils (so-to-speak) thing.

    How would you feel about Elizabeth Warren if she ran?
