The big money candidate lost, didn’t she?
Will this mean people continue to campaign to get big money out of American elections?

You can put the most expensive lipstick in the world on a pig, it’s still a pig though.
There ought to be some serious questions asked about how the money was spent.
Did the Clinton Foundation launder foreign contributions eg Saudi Arabia, Qatar, George Soros?
Could Trump have beaten anyone else?
Could Bernie Sanders have won? Imagine that.
Stupid rich people wasting their money?
Copacetic, as you like to say.
A lot of the money is basically just bribes. So long as the donors think they are buying something worthwhile, they will pay.
And the bulk of super-PAC funded films (which Hillary pledged to ban by reversing Citizens United) attacked Trump.
Hillary will, no doubt, continue to campaign to make criticism of her good self illegal.
That was what Citizens United was about.
What would the economic affect be?
All that money transfers from the very rich to provide interesting and well-paid work for the middle-class running campaigns.
And they don’t produce nothing: politics sells on TV and radio. Maybe they should end the ban on foreign money.
One of yesterday’s glories – beyond watching the big lefty meltdown – was thinking about how much money Wall Street and various Middle East scumbags lost donating to the Clinton Foundation.
If one were to assess the value of all the pro-Hillary spin and propaganda delivered for free by our “professional” media, it would absolutely dwarf whatever was officially donated her campaign or spent on pro-Hillary Super-PAC operations.
Mark Steyn was brilliant on this:
Take a look at the senate and the house. Trump had enough money to hit the diminishing returns level – somewhere around $200m for a presidential these days. Last major party presidential to be a bit short on cash was Dukakis, and he’s the last one to lose an election by a lot.
The further down ballot you go, the more the money decides. The more it comes down to a Koch or a Soros casting the only vote that counts.

Really?
