of a money corrupted system. Any person with basic common sense today acknowledges that FACT. The cost of millions to gain that office is easily offset with the fees, funds, money inherent in this political system. I never hear of an ex-POTUS having to file for bankruptcy to pay off the bills of them running for that high office? I did not say the person striving for the office is initially corrupt. When that person gains that office, it stands to reason that because of the corruption inherent in this political system because of corporate and banking influence money, the person occupying the Oval Office is forced to make decisions based on that influence of money. This systemic corruption has been exhibited by the money corrupted RW for the last 6 years along with the obviously transparent reason(s). The right wing faction(s) is/are not the only money corrupted party of this country either. Obsession is probably an apt description of the desire one must have to want to gain that high office along with a few other descriptive psychological reasons/terms of what is behind the desire needed to want to be a 'leader' of any country.
