And, you know, money is - the money edge is really dangerous to democracy. Because what you have right now - people have said to me that, look, you'll always be outspent, so how can you ever win?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money has always been in politics. And I'm not sure you'd want money to be completely out of politics.
Money is the fuel that makes political victory possible. Sadly, folks, in many cases it's more important than ideas. And this is what turns off so many people to politics.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Anyone who has been around Washington politics long enough can't avoid this truism: Election-year money is like a rushing river that invariably finds cracks in any dam the reformers erect.
In our political system, money is power. And that means a few can have a lot more power than the rest. That's bad news for everyone else - and for our democracy itself.
I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.
I think that's most unfortunate about our Democratic system, that you're confining it to people who are either very wealthy in their own right or have capacity to gain access to large amounts of money.
You can become a winner only if you are willing to walk over the edge.
In history, the millions win; that is democracy.
We will not lose this election for lack of money.
