The second statement is false. How much a candidate raises has been correlated to ability to win. That eliminates anyone that can’t raise money. And Kavanaug

The second statement is false.
How much a candidate raises has been correlated to ability to win.
That eliminates anyone that can’t raise money.
And Kavanaugh’s nomination casts doubt on the third statement. You can be a vile POS, but become a SCOTUS judge so long as you’re networked with the right people.
- solveit 8y ago>How much a candidate raises has been correlated to ability to win. Key word being correlated. Winners raise more money in large part because people donate to candidates they think will win. So your third statement is technically true, but in a very uninteresting way that you probably didn't intend.
- keko039ndnfm 8y agoMy intention was to call into question the statement “anyone can be President or a legislator.” Which you’ve agreed is nonsense. But yes let’s just disconnect it from context and polish the shit out of it
