The reality is that votes still matter more to politicians than money. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is hands down the most powerful lobby in the USA. Their power comes from their ability to get their message out to their followers who are the most likely group to vote in any election.
The NRA’s power comes from a similar place.
In 1992 I thought the GOP was being hyperbolic about Bill Clinton’s history of sexual predation. Im not proud of that.
