A good analogy of American politics, especially during election time is the 101 psych. experiment, Pavlov's Dog. A classic conditioning of feed the dog, and ring the bell and the dog's behavior is predictable. Now let's look at the front runners in the political campaigns, Clinton and Bush. The money has decided the outcome, forget Bernie and Donald. Give the candidates money and make contact in their offices instead of a bell and their behavior is predictable. We get "ours" and you get "yours." Pavlov's Dog and Politics 101 made simple; like follow the massive money donations.
