[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1991648, member: 17969"] This is true, but you forget one thing. During that election, campaigns were regulated by McCain/Feingold reforms and large donors were not allowed. OBAMA raised the highest amount of grass roots donations from citizens. Then, Obama refused matching funds from the government, leaving McCain out to dry during the campaign. Bernie Sanders just beat that record. The republicans, seeing they got outfundraised by regulation, immediately after the 2012 election, went to court, and worked their way to the US Supreme court, where the GOP knew the 5 conservatives would hand them a victory in citizens united and gave birth to the Sheldon Adelsons of this country giving tens of millions of dollars and buying reprocity. Unfortunately, it didnt work for Romney, as it wont for ANY of the GOP candidates you see today. The DEMS will still outfund raise the GOP and you still wont like it. Get over it, this is the game that the GOP wanted to play, now its being played. TOS. [/QUOTE]
