If elected, I expect a candidate to do the bidding of his/her donors. I'd prefer that to be millions

of working class people. It'd be nice to think a president could take money from the corporations and billionaires and then just do what's right, it never seems to work out that way though.

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

...which of our candidates do you think so lowly of that they can be """corrupted""" and """bought out""" by $2,800?

And none of our candidates are taking money from corporations.

Maybe get your facts straight?
