Will we ever see a campaign where someone with qualifications could be seen as a serious contender without having to be a millionaire? It sure isn't this one.

    • Those who say they hate the tactics of the corporate media but eat up their love affair with their candidate, as Obama and Clinton will now fight over why she should or should not make her tax returns public also perpetuate the system as it is. Money money money money. As if that will move any debate of substance regarding this country in any direction forward. As if that will help solve the climate crisis, or move us closer to addressing poverty, or peace, or social justice. It is truly bad enough to think that on the whole politicians and candidates are more interested in their egos and their wallets and just saying what they think will get them an endorsement rather than the people in the longrun... but to then see that the people on the whole are generally the ones who are accepting this unsubstantive crap as more important as well... It is no wonder this process is so toxic. Only the people can fix this broken system, but it would seem a great majority of them appear to not really want to do so as much as they say they do.

    • Not only not a millionaire. Will we ever see the day when someone would actually be elected by the popular vote of the people. "We the people" just don't matter enough any more.
