Should be disqualified from becoming president. This is a very serious principle among Sanders people. When it comes to politicians other than Sanders.

The opposition to PAC money has been a talking point for years.

When Jayapal ran in Seattle, she first went to Boca Raton and had a billionaire friend put together several million dollars for her. Through an informal PAC. She then went on to claim that anyone who raised funds in this fashion should not be allowed to run for office.

It's a pretty standard talking point.

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