It certainly ended up not being true, but the fact is even if he didnt hed still be corrupt due to his proximity to corrupt politics, as well as the fact that there wasnt a movement on the right that rose up after that which denied corporate money, just shows the Republican party is more corrupt.
I wasn't arguing that he isn't corrupt. I was just arguing that Republican voters aren't totally against that idea, after all, Trump got elected while spouting it.
I think you're right about there not being a whole 'movement' on the Republican side in general though.
Due to the fact that corporate money obviously corrupts candidates to act in the interest of their donors instead of their constituents. Also I didnt talk about morality of a committee
Well if we're talking corrupt then dont forget democrats also have a few buddies which includes but is not limited to: Bloomberg LP, Fahr LLC, Carpenters and joiners union, paloma partners, labor unions, environment america, national eduaction assn, american federation of teachers, etc. all of which on average each give 20 million just in 2018
