Does anyone believe that we should just vote for the candidate with the most money?

That seems to be a popular argument with some and I don't buy it. We need to vote for the candidate who best expresses our views and can successfully win votes.

If the only argument for voting for a candidate is that they have more wealthy backers, then there is no reason not to pull the lever for Jeb. If we want a candidate with a real shot of retaining the White House, let's look at the candidate who can pull in votes with a fraction of the money.

But then, I've always been an issues voter.

3. Apparently D. Trump does. That's why he keeps mentioning it.

4. So do some Hillary supporters.

Think there's a reason for that?

7. Really?

Who here is making that argument?

There is a difference between recognizing that money is important - vitally important, in this day and age - to running a political campaign and voting for the candidate who has the most money.

"If the only argument for voting for a candidate is that they have more wealthy backers ..."

Again, who said that? I'm guessing nobody - ever.

8. Yep

Hillary supporters...

9. No. Who is saying that?
