I might take Gilmore the least bit seriously if he: a) called for far-reaching campaign finance reform, including repeal of “Citizens United,” enactment of public financing, etc; b) also called on Jeb Bush and a bunch of other Republican candidates to ‘withdraw from the race,” since they have the same issues Gilmore claims Hillary Clinton has; c) switched parties, since the GOP is the epitome of the corrupting influence of money on our political system (e.g., the “capture” of government by monied interests). Until he does all of those things, I’ll continue to simply laugh at this clown.
