Remember way back when Candidate Obama said this?
Fall 2007: “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” – Barack Obama
Remember when Candidate McCain agreed to public financing and Obama reneged?
June 2008: “We’ve made the decision not to participate in the public financing system for the general election.” – Barack Obama
In the most recent presidential campaign cycle, spending limits were a hot topic for the Left.
As per usual, they didn’t let their words interfere with their actions. Clinton outspent Trump 2-1, but it didn’t do her any good! Bwahahahahahaha!
