With Elizabeth Warren's announcement that she is forming an exploratory committee for president we begin the most consequential part of our corrupt and defective process for selecting a president-the money primary, when candidates must prove they can raise 9 figures to be viable.
This means, even with crowd-funded campaigns gaining some traction, that the real power to pick candidates, regardless of party, lies with the very rich. Until that changes, our system will never be truly representative, corruption will reign and inequality will grow.

Let's blame all the money in politics on Warren. Must be all her fault because she's a girl.
That is NOT what he just said.
You can stop right here. This is what, at its core, is wrong with American politics. Only the uber-wealthy or mega-connected, need apply. It just leaves too many brilliant options on the outside looking in. At its worst? You get trumped.
This is exactly what happened to a good friend who lives in Virginia and was running for senate. He’s well known in the party, had lots of supporters from the get go and was/is more than qualified, but couldn’t even get in the game because he didn’t have enough money behind him.
Martha Coakley lite. She's not going to win. Being a cabinet secretary is possible. She probably won't make it much past NH. Ugh. Nothing transformative here.
Yes we need campaign reform now
