Max donation of say 2K per person AND per business/corporation/organization to any one political candidate per year or per election cycle. That's it.

Publicly financed is the probably the best way. Again look at some wht the other successful democracies and get some ideas.

Taj don't you have a Hannity news alert to go watch?

The answer is totally blind contributions. No person or group may contribute directly to anyone running for office. All contributions are sent to a clearing house and then distributed to the candidate. Candidate does not know where money comes from.

This way nobody can make a claim political speech is being stifled.

Deport all republicans to mars

Too costly. Send them to Antarctica. Everything is White down there. It's wide open for real-estate development -- Trump could sell them condos with straw roofs and palm trees.

And -- they would buy in . . .

I like to see everyone being happy. Maybe either the government or GoodWill Industries can provide a parka for every deportee.

However. I have suspicions. So when I encounter a Trumpie who needs either my business or my assistance, I will ask to see the original birth certificate on the spot.

To prove planet of origin . . . .

Great idea, the hell with free political speech.
Actually this is a fair point. I've wrestled deeply with the citizen united ruling and of more recent seem to accept it as something forced. Money is speech at the end of the day and it doesn't seem right to arbitrarily limit how much people can spend/say during an election run up. Whilst laws can't be written to limit how much spending someone can do, laws can be written as to how the money can and cannot be used by the candidates. The thing to do is to get rid of SuperPacs entirely (they get a lot of tax benefits that increase their ability to do what they do) and have all donations go to a general pool that is distributed to all the candidates. That way you're not violating free speech by limiting spending; rather you're just changing what spending means. The reality is this is already kind of ongoing. Many corporations play both sides as it is giving large sums to both dems and republicans in the same race.

Perhaps I misunderstand what you're trying to say but that sounds an awful lot like the current rule on political contributions to candidates.

Maybe you're thinking of PACs and other advocacy orgs, but you didn't mention them.
