Campaign Financing

     A while ago, I had published a post on The Supreme Court Ruling that limits on Campaign Donations was Unconstitutional. Since that time, we had the 2014 midterm elections. In this midterm, incumbent Democrats like Sherrod Brown in Ohio faced enormous waves of spending by Right Wing PACs, and Organizations, like the Koch Brothers and sometimes even international donors. What happened was, not only did Republicans gain seats in the already Republican Majority House of Representatives, but they also gained the majority in the Senate. Luckily Senator Sherrod Brown was able to keep his seat, but many of his Democratic colleagues did not.
    The impact of unlimited Campaign Donations is that the Republican party is inherently more backed by large Corporations,  mostly because they do help the big businesses a lot, and it's pretty hard to deny that. In the 2014 midterm election, 7 out of the 10 biggest Campaign financiers around the country were large Right Wing Non-profits, that are funded by big businesses. The other 3 were unions, like the National Educators Association, and they obviously backed the pro-union Democrats. It definitely makes it an uphill battle for Democrats, but even though there was a huge loss by the Democrats in the midterm, they have historically bounced back during Presidential Election years. 2016 will be the best way to judge how much of an impact unlimited Campaign Financing really has.
