I think America needs to take a leaf out of British politics here and ban ALL lobbies from giving financial support to ANYONE who wants be become Politicians and/or Leader (President in this case).

When you have groups like AIPAC and Gun Lobbies financially supporing a President candidate that is a form of corruption because in return on support and such votes, the Presidential candidate is forced to make consessions in their favor. Ban it ALL.
