Trump Says Miriam Adelson Offered Him 'Another $250 Million' to Run for a Third Term

Is there anyone here that thinks we should still allow massive amounts of money in politics?
Citizens United must be revoked. Yesterday is fine by me. And this article proves it.

that alone is "quid pro quo" and contrary to both israeli and american interests.

what he did not say is that he gave the embassy in tel aviv to adelson.

Citizens United, we must be certain to pull out the roots: Buckley v Valeo and FNB Boston v Belotti. But I believe all of that could be done through normal legislation, without resorting to amending the Constitution. Still, yes, I realize that is a very heavy lift.

Please check me on this, any Constitutional scholars out there.

Mrs. Adledson sounds like she’s in the same boat with him.
