    Anyone that can be funded endlessly by a corporate and capitalist elite can become president.

    If billionaires and corporate leaders decided tomorrow that you should be president, they could dump millions of dollars and a few years worth of hired professional help and they’d make you president.

    It’s not the will of an individual person or a personality that makes a president … it’s whichever group of wealthy backers who decide to fund the campaign … after that it is j just a matter of how much money they are willing to spend to make it happen.

      That’s what Michael Bloomberg thought and he was wrong, too.
