...to the major candidates (Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, O'Rourke, Harris Gillibrand - Biden hasn't had to file yet). Each of them have accepted money from "big money contributors".

One, in fact, has already received money from a couple way over the maximum for the year!

The point is, "big money contributors" are a fact of political life.

What concerns me are the candidates who have huge totals of "unitemized contributions", from whom we have no idea. We don't even know if the aggregate of some of those "unitemized" contributions meets or exceeds the maximum.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
