And Bloomberg. The second most worthy debate moment of 2020 was when Warren took the fight to Bloomberg over funding the Pa R senate candidate in 2016.


I think making it transparent who is funding candidates/attacks is more important than 'getting $ out of politics.' I want to know they who and why. I don't think a big donation is necessarily bad but I think we should have the opportunity to ask what the incentive was. I cannot imagine one worthwhile policy/initiative that would require anonymity.

Citizens United was one of the most catastrophic things to happen to our country.

I’d like the government to give each candidate a flat amount of money and that’s the cap. Doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are. You can spend the exact same amount of money.

Well, it might show who has more ingenuity at least. Who can do more with less? That might be worth something when trying to handle budget issues at the federal level.

I hope he wins. If he wins the nomination and kansans aren't smart enough to elect him senator then they deserve whatever destruction a Democrat senator would do to Kansas

People in Kansas have been fooled once by alt right idiots and won't fall for it again. Why do you think Moscow Mitch was so desperate to recruit Pompeo to run for the seat?

It will be an entertaining circus if Kobach squeezes by with a victory over his GOP opponent.
