I’ve been supporting a law that would basically say if you can’t vote for a candidate, you can’t donate to that candidate or his campaign.
In essence, I agree. but there are a lot more masses to reach these days and reaching them has become more and more expensive.
When, for one reason or another, you want to donate to a candidate, like your brother-in-law in Podunk. I see no reason it should be written into law that you can't.
When a campaign becomes "of national interest" and I want to send some money to your brother-in-law in Podunk, I still don't see any reason to legislate otherwise.
The real dark money has always been there. Envelopes filled with cash...briefcases...SCOTUS just admitted it existed, and at least made it trackable to some extent.
