In reply to the discussion: Audio: Chris Christie Lets Loose at Secret Koch Brothers Confab [View all]libdem4life
(13,877 posts)19. This is true. It's why no matter how a candidate positions, the results will be either Center Left
or Center Right. That's what the two-party system demands. No one of the outer "fringes" can get elected, they can, however somewhat influence the Platform Policy.
So those who don't want the Democrats to receive corporate money and think it's too early to start courting voters and donors, will hopefully rethink. Christie is already there. Bush just needs to make some phone calls and show up with his Hispanic wife down the road. The others are irrelevant.
Corey Booker got 90% of the money donated...saw a tally. Barbara Buono got next to nothing, apparently. There must already be the air of a strong competitor before money is released...then it seems it's showered. We're talking billions of dollars at the ready.
And I hate it.
