2016 Postmortem

the only realistic way to get rid of Citizen's United is by nominating a more liberal SCOTUS justice-and the best way to do that is to elect Clinton as President. Not only do I NOT object to her financing of her campaign with Super PAC money-I think she would have to be an idiot not to take as much money as she can because she's likely to be hit with about a Billion Dollar Koch funded attack machine in the General Election. You play by the rules currently in effect-not bring a knife to a gun fight
