Every issue is affected. I am convinced, the most effective way to win both the White House and down ballot for Democrats is to run a clean candidate and research expose the source of the money of the repub. Money talks.
Now that the Internet IS the medium, Show Me the Money. You can't find the source of Dark money, Pac money, and Super Pac money? No problem, it is already mud just throw it. Next you just ask, why did you vote for _______? Did they give you money?
Oh, one more thing, I almost forgot. Money from foreign sources in campaigns is against the law. So NRA $ from russia? No can do. chinese $ for mitch and wife inc. No can do.
