IMO we've entered a phase of scorched-earth in political donations. Neither party can afford to do the right thing, so they will just keep working harder and harder at the wrong thing.
The US has always been a very rich-friendly country, but I imagine that it will become only more so. At least for the next couple of decades. My only hope is that this is a poison pill for both parties. It is possible that via these types of donations (or maybe crowd-sourced ones) that the funding infrastructure of the two parties can be trumped. Unfortunately, it might be by the wrong people for the wrong reasons. I am still hopeful about americanselect.org, though.
