Prediction. My guess is that the candidate Republican or Democrat with the most campaign contributions will win the election. The result, we have a president who was either purchased by special interest groups and corporate America or who is beholden to those who don't have the best interest of the U.S., but there own best interest in mind.

How do these candidates win. They are able to spend the money on advertisements to get the message prepared by highly paid consultants that voters take as sincere.

My idea. Vote for the one with the fewest donations. At the very least, we know they have not been purchased by banksters. And yes, I know Obama had the most money at the last election, which kind of proves my point. Of course, he later gave the big banks a bailout. Coincidence. I think not.
