I guess I’m just not politically astute.

Just how does a hundred million $$$ or so in campaign funds really influence thinking voters?

You see an ad on TV once or twice and then ignore the repeats. The candidates use the money to travel and stump, while always saying the same lame BS.

If people other than the LIVs can’t decide on who to vote for after just doing minimal research and using common sense, then those $$$$ are just funding the Election Industry slimeballs.

Exactly.

The Koch Brothers, and all of the other supposedly huge donors, along with many liberal illegal alien supporters made a $100 million ad-buy during the roll call on the Senate Amnesty, and in the subsequent days when they attempted to get the House to cave. Despite pumping most of those millions into targeted ads on Fox News and Talk Radio, they did not move conservative opinion an inch.

To win the primary, Jeb needs votes, not money. He already has the name recognition that gets him an early lead by virtue of his father and brother -- neither of whom would ever have been President if it had not been for Ronald Reagan. His numbers will not move even a percentage point from where they are right now.
