Their brutally honest appraisal of political corruption should be made into an ad for Bernie Sanders...
Vox has a good article on the point, but more detail is needed. See below.
Several candidates admit they (and others) are being bribed by wealthy people like Trump, who seems proud of that. The following refers to a video of the debate on Youtube
Rand Paul (at 15:01 min) says: "He (Trump) buys and sells politicians of all stripes" Trump says he gave to Paul, who nods.
At the 53 min mark Trump says single payer "works incredibly well" (in other countries) and then goes on to admit that in the US the insurance companies "have total control of the politicians".
54:26 the Fox interviewer gets after Trump for donating to Democrats. He reads a Trump quote about how politicians dance for their dollars: "when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do" to which Trump responds "you better believe it"
The response of all the others about how they would like Trump's money is telling, given his statement that donating money is a bribe. Kasich and Huckabee both directly asked for checks.
At 55:16 Trump says "the system is broken... I give to everyone... when I need something from them, two years, three years later, I call them and they are there for me. And that's a broken system."
at 56 min mark Huckabee (when asked about how he would shrink government) states "The problem is we have a Wall streeet to Washington axis of power that has controlled the political climate. The donor class feeds the political class, that does the dance that the donor class wants."
Of course none of the clowns want to do anything about the bribery problem, but the American people DO.
I hope the Bernie Sanders people make an ad featuring these clowns admitting that the system of bribery is the actual problem. The people agree, and they need it fixed NOW.
Peace
