8. I am one of the few not opposed to money in politics.

Money is what gets your message across in a nation this big and I have no problem with anybody giving anything as long as it is transparent.

But your examples are not good. What percent of Sanders' funding came from Clinton? What percent of Duckworth's funding came from Clinton? What percent of Senate Majority PAC came from Bloomberg? I don't know the answer to any of those questions but I'll bet the percentage is very low for Sanders and Duckworth. I'll bet that percent is far higher for Majority PAC.

But again, I don't care because I am not opposed to money in politics.
