    What’s the catch? What is Hawley’s new source of funds that he has and the Establishment GOP doesn’t have? There’s no way in hell that seditious pigfucker would cut off the money supply unless he’s got a private source.

      Maybe I’m being overly optimistic but it’s at least possible he just thinks it’s wrong. He’s a grade A schmuck but like it or not he is a senator. Maybe this could create bipartisan support to over turn Citizens United.
