    A remarkable admission from the Huffpo! I'll give them credit for it. Was Trump possibly the reason for the dark money spending by the Left?

    What a nonsensical Thread ... "who got more dark money". This is like having a contest between Stalin and Pol Pot and declaring a winner based on who killed more.

    When are people going to wake up and smell the flatus and realize that both Red and Blue (Establishment) stink like Poo...

    Unions and corporations should not be allowed to donate to political campaigns.

    Then why do Democrats constantly try to paint Republicans as such?

    Seems quite hypocritical to say this now when there is a statistic showing Democrats are more corrupt.

    Classic projection - (accusing others of what you are guilty of). Same thing happens on the other side of the fence and it is hard to say which side is "more" corrupt - the corruption is rampant on both sides - the main difference being that Red is more honest about it. The hypocrisy is glaring.

    Look at Healthcare for example. How many Blue administrations have had a chance to do something about the systemic issues plaguing our system. None did anything. The ACA is lipstick on a pig. No attempt was made to address the systemic issues.

    Trump mentioned drug price fixing last night. Numerous Political pundits have been bringing this issue up for decades. Nothing ever gets done - whether it is the Manufacturers themselves or the Insurance Oligopoly.

    We will see if Trump can get anything done - The Healthcare Lobby is padding the pockets of both Red and Blue Establishment so I highly doubt anything of significance will happen - just more lipstick.

    During the midterms the Democrats in California paid illegal aliens to harvest ballots.

    That's a No No.

    Cmon, then they can't point the finger at the other side. A limit of 5,000 per candidate. No corporate or union donations. The rich or Unions can do position ads but no candidates names or images allowed.
