CONSTRUCT AN ELABORATE FAÇADE as a straight-talking maverick who battles against the corrupting influence of money in politics.
When your campaign coffers unexpectedly dry up, enter the public financing system and accept the rules associated with taking public funds. Use the funds to keep your presidential aspirations alive.
