Let's not forget how many politicians, after receiving 'legal' campaign dollars while or before their time in office end up in lucrative sinecures after leaving their elected positions. While they technically weren't bribed by today's myopically narrow interpretation of the crime, I would say this arrangement reeks of corruption to most. There's also the personal utility view of this - if it is power they desire and you finance their acquisition of power, isn't that in a sense bribery? If they want power, why buy them a sports car.... It's clear to me that we need real campaign finance reform. No more dark money or third party political action committees. The fate of our democracy probably depends on it.
