You cannot look at a photograph without thinking "has this been photoshopped" which is exactly how much of our media's presentations have become. The amount of money being spent on the Presidential campaign is at worst "insane" and at best "insane". Limit this process to a maximum amount per candidate for the primary, and a maximum amount for the General Election, so no candidate can "buy" an election. Limit the timeframe of the process to 6 months at most from beginning to end.
