The "poor political campaigns" already exempted themselves from needing to adhere to the "do not call" list. So were they to make robocall's illegal, the politicians would likely again exempt themselves from the "robocalls are illegal" law.

With the result that (assuming the existing robocallers all quit) the only robocalls one would get would be politician robocalls.

In any case, most all of the current robocalls are already "illegal" under one or more existing laws/regulations, yet they still occur because the ones making the robocalls face few (if any) penalties for violations.
