    Trump had 24 hour free advertising.

    Edit: other than that money wins every time except for a few anomalies.

    Hardly his fault the media covered him. Clinton got a lot of coverage as well. I also disagree that money wins al the time. There are literally 100s of thousands of races a year and that’s not always tr case

    We're not talking about mayor or city planner.

    Now when someone posts a few anomalies after I said anomalies I'm just going to reply with anomalies.

    When people are torally dependent on the government as socialist are they often lose individual rights

    Its the nature of the beast

    When obama mindlessly stuttered “You didnt build that” he was saying that what conservatives call their own is really his and yours through government authority in a socialist nation

    Ocasio-Cortez should have addressed the solution.

    We can redistribute income, not take over business.

    You mistake cynicism for partisanship.

    Yes, highlighting this issue is "grandstanding."

    Its a problem I admit

    Children are being held as hostages by lazy adults who feed off their food stamps

    But I’m working on one

    Socialists have learned that running a business is hard work

    Under the fascist economic model of nazi germany and the modern democrat party its better to let the energetic bees do the work and government just collests the honey as needed

    Your analogies make you look insane. Pulling the "Nazi" card. You need to get out more.

    Fascists aren't socialists, nor is the Democratic Party. There is no "Democrat" party.

    He's happy to have an economic system rigged to distribute income to rich people.

    Do you think the nazis were just ethnic cleansers with no economic policy?

    I'm not entertaining your fantasy analogies trying to compare Nazis to Democrats. It cheapens any decent argument you have.

    The nazis and the bolsheviks were just two sides of the centralized governent coin

    They just used slightly diggerent means to achieve the same gosl

    As for modern democrsts their economic plan is modeled on the nazis rather than the soviets

    Trump is pro-employer. He has done nothing to improve the working class. Trickle-down economics keeps getting sold to the public by the GOP even after it has been shown to be detrimental to the economy.

    It wouldn't require a consitutional amendment. It would require a law just like the presidential term limit that was passed after Roosevelt's death. It is a meaningless distinction, though, because such a law won't happen either. The best we can do is vote against incumbents to create the turnover.

    Why not use your motivation and talents to climb into the top 20%? Complaining won't help a thing.

    So ban lobbyists from DC, and permit them only when subpoenaed for testimony before Committees, escorted in and escorted out.

    None of this addresses what I said. It simply confirms that government is corrupt and incompetent.

    You missed the point. If we can legislate against cigarette advertising, we can legislate against political advertising. Does that help?
