I probably should point out, I am not a Bloomberg guy. I just look at that thread and see little in there that I don't think most people in presidential elections are doing, he's just starting at a primary level before a large amount of the "big money" starts flowing in.
It's not really different, and I agree it's an old tale. Doesn't mean I have to like it and don't think publicly funded elections should be a thing.
