Dear Bill Weld: Here are 5 Reasons Johnson is More Qualified than Clinton

4. Johnson is not beholden to outside interests

As of August 31, Clinton had raised a whopping $373.3 million for her campaign, and added another $154 million in September. The donations come from Super PACs, foreign leaders, international corporations, labor unions and many others.

In addition to money raised for her campaign, the Clinton Foundation has accepted donations from numerous foreign countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Australia and Norway, numerous foundations, companies and individuals.

It would be naive to believe that Clinton is not swayed by big money, and the film Clinton Cash provides many examples of where Clinton seems to have been, indeed, influenced by donations.

Johnson, on the other hand, is not awash in lavish contributions, and he demonstrated as governor of New Mexico that he rejects boondoggles, pet projects and pork spending that our elected officials have used for years in order to receive more donations.
