While I agree with a lot if not most of that, I still think, and the bloody MSM alluded to last night, MONEY won the election. Money. How could anyone compete with nearly two thirds of a BILLION dollars - almost endless funds to buy and do what-ever you want. Greek columns, 30 minute infomercials, 100 offices in some states, huge ground forces, PAID trolls, and so on.
With enough money, anyone can win anything, and this proves it, IMHO.
Again, folks, I’m not a troll, just a realist. I call ‘em as I see ‘em. My thoughts have been so radical I’ve even upset some folks on the forums that I run!
I say things that are unpopular at times, but my intent is to always tell the truth as far as I know it.
MONEY won this.
Otherwise, that list is really a pretty fair analysis, IMHO.
It allowed him to play an elaborate game with shell donors and effectively create new "donors" at will. His campaign was nothing but one giant money laundering scheme for illegal/foreign contributors.
