Anybody But The Current Guy

What a bizarre election we're having this time around.

The GOP candidate is easily out-fundraising his opponent because...his donors love his policies so much.  Right?

Except that he doesn't have any.  (Check it out.)

  • On healthcare, he'll repeal Obamacare and replace it with...what?
  • On financial regulation, he'll repeal Dodd-Frank (the new laws meant to prevent Wall Street meltdowns) and replace it with...what?
  • On taxes, he'll fund his tax cuts for the wealthy by ending...which?...tax credits for the middle class
  • On budgeting, he'll cut our deficit by slashing spending by hundreds of billions each year on...which?...programs
He does not say.  Resolutely.

So what exactly are his extremely well-heeled donors purchasing with all their cash?

The only thing I can see is that they are buying themselves an Anybody But the Current Guy candidate.  And he's letting them.

Wow.  What a way to get a circular office.
