Citizens United vs FEC is only ~7 years old and, if I recall, Hillary only ran in one election during that time frame. The same number that Trump ran in.

Regardless: The whole idea of campaign finance reform is that it's too powerful: Most politicians can't do the right thing because it would hobble them too much in elections.

We didn't have corruption prior to Citizens United? Here's my purposed rule, if you take a nickel from a company you don't get to vote on anything that would effect them. No way in hell the neo-cons or the neo-liberals in Washington pass that.

That might be changing. People are pissed at the establishment. This is the first time since the 50's that the person who spent the most money lost.

Maybe! But now there's going to be even more monied interests spending hard to make sure it doesn't.

This is neither here nor there. Simply spending money isn't the issue.
