2. I think there is a generational issue

as part of a normal "pass the torch" moment and the chaos as that happens, but because of the internet and social media, it gets magnified.

I also think that Citizen's United decision has really turbocharged the money-in-politics problem and considering it "speech", and that pushes politicos to have to seek it out, often from unsavory sources.

I really wished that Russ Feingold and John McCain had gotten together right after that decision to try to fix their Campaign Finance law that got overturned with that ruling but it was eventually too late.
