So, an identical position to Hillary and Obama.

So, a feel-good statement for something that will never happen.

Public financing, really? Have you watched the news for the last forty years?
It's a nice goal, but that's the really long game.

Standard campaign finance reform proposals. Mainstream Democrats would not oppose that.
>Fight to eliminate super PACs and other outside spending >abuses.
Identical to Hillary and Obama's positions.
>Work to aggressively enforce campaign finance rules.
Vague boilerplate.
