Who's buying votes? Cannabis has slowly been legalized in a majority of states for the last 15 years. If you don't like it, then don't do it. Stick to canceling women's rights to healthcare because that seems to really be working for you.

One of your boys, Doug Burgum, doesn't even pretend not to. The ND billionaire wanted to get enough individual donations to qualify for the debate stage, so he advertised giving a $20 gift certificate to anyone who donated a dollar. Which he did, and got on stage. But, as the Beatles say, you can't buy me love, and while he made the stage, he lost horribly in the primaries. I can't even think of a more blatant way to buy "support". Direct marketing of free money for votes.

buying votes you say?

Buying votes is always a great strategy

Trump’s response stunned the oil executives: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House…Giving $1 billion would be a ‘deal,’ Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid. https://t.co/K4BNF5zbCP

if anyone has a sub for WaPo please post this article because I'd love to read it. I don't have one and apparently they don't even give free ones per month anymore.
