From my perspective, it seems like a disingenuous argument used to reinforce a predetermined assumption. You can't have it both ways.

Thanks for the response.
I think this is a fatal flaw in the way people view the world and how we see one thing totally different(not saying one way is right, reality is how you view it). You see that as a hypocrisy in him giving out money and conservatives viewing the government doing that as bad. However, the difference is the government uses all our money to give people money to get votes, this man was using his own money. He wasn't using *mine*. Huge difference. I will not take away from the obvious issues where it could look like hes literally buying votes though.
