When these types claim opposition is paid you are in serious trouble and to a degree it is true. The mere thought that opposition occurs independent of propaganda and advertising is terrifying to the real movers and shakers. Whether right or left you will take your marching orders just do not expect personal profit. You have to finance your candidate pay up.

There is no help ever for Trump he is the curse come to life and can be replaced with a snap of your fingers. This disgusting monster was created quite possibly by accident and now others have the formula.
