"Do donors matter" Yes, you have broke the mold by asking this. Now you don't follow, you lead.

Watch the parties follow the silver tongue of their future President, research that president and recognize that was some good talk, then watch what they actually do.

Politicians don't CONTROL.

The highest bidder CONTROLS Politicians and Dictators have found an easy path after Citizens United. I was going to back Rand Paul until I noticed one of his top 10 donors was a Super-Pac named "Citizens United" basically flaunting the American failure.

Conservatives use to call them "suits". Today they worship them in hopes for profits.
