The Young Turks Network Raises $4 Million From Former Republican Presidential Candidate

82. First, I accept that that is a possibility, although listening to his interview, he had some harsh

words for his own party and the media when it comes to these issues.

Second, if that was his agenda, then hopefully he miscalculated. I think and hope he is. Getting money out of politics is a mainstream desire, not the fringe crap that tea partiers saddled the Republicans with, ironically after the republicans and the big money astro-turfed them. This isn't saddling our candidates with anything. If anything it is freeing. And it is fair to say that we don't have a choice about taking money, while we have no choice. I'm happy that the TYT network and other non-mainstream liberal news and commentary organizations have more voice and a growing audience to promote that message so that the public at large, not just a percentage of the left, start insisting on a change.

Third, money spent on politics in the service of promoting a landscape that removes that money from it, is money well spent. People need to hear that there are options. They need candidates that represent those options.
