Has Trump ever spoken about Citizens United? (vote, Congress, campaign)

[sickofnyc]

Logically, a candidate that bragged about not taking money from corporations and not being beholden would have a lot to say about this issue. Has he? It appears that Trump's no establishment rhetoric is total bull-pucky.

Report: Trump hires Citizens United head as deputy campaign manager

"David Bossie is so craven and maniacal that in the heyday of the overreaching Gingrich-era Congress, the top Whitewater conspiracy theorist in the House had to fire him for doctoring evidence," campaign chair John Podesta said in a statement Thursday night. "He has devoted his career ever since to trying to tear down Hillary Clinton."

Podesta was also sharply critical of his ties to Citizens United, which he claims has acted as an "arm of the Trump campaign" in recent months.

So tell me again how ANTI-ESTABLISHEMNT and what a NON-ELITIST Trump is.

Trump showed us how flawed it is to assume that campaign spending wins elections.

He spent less than 1/2 of what she did 556mil v 248
The parties spent around 80 mil less on him than her
SuperPACs spent 1/3 on him compared to her.

Just think about that. His campaign was 1/2 hers and she lost.

Take out the parties and just combine PACs and the Campaign itself:

Trump's campaign spent: 308mil; Clinton's Campaign spent: 844mil

The he must have lots to say about Citizens United, but alas, he has not and in fact is in bed with one of the head honchos. Trump used guys like this to sell his snake oil. Do you know how much free publicity Trump received form the MSM?...Billions worth. And where are those tax returns

I see that this is an aimless rant more than a pointed thread about an issue.

Citizens United not an issue? I beg to differ. And btw...you should look up the definition of a "rant".

Trump fans love propaganda. It won them the election on social media.

Sounds like it was a good common sense choice to hire some who made it their life mission to take down the opponent he was facing. Oh ............I forgot, according to the left he wasn't intelligent ............but put in a brilliant performance and did what no one else has ever done. Silly man
