The political elite of both parties continue to worship big war chests and sell their souls to large contributors. Jeb Bush went into the primaries with a huge stash and ended up spending close to $40 million per delegate. Hillary had tons of cash and little good did it do her. When will the elites learn that it is votes that win elections not cash that is important. Trump having spent his entire career dealing with working class employees had a deep appreciation of their concerns. A floor sweeper’s vote is just as important as billionaires vote even if the billionaire contributed millions of dollars to his favorite lackey.

their problem is that they (and the rest of the “establishment”) have not evolved their 20th century campaign techniques (when you could purchase the dissemination of information, propaganda and thought control via ABC/CBS/NBC) into 21st century techniques in which the Internet provides hundreds of dissemination venues. ABC/CBS/NBC are now just three amongst hundreds of outlets and spending tens, or even hundreds, of millions of dollars on just those three outlets vastly limits your ability to pump out effective propaganda.
The Internet has made it vastly more difficult to effect thought-control, regardless of the amount of money you spend, hence the public lamentations of Obama, Hillary, Jeb Bush, and the rest who pine for the “good ol’ days” before the Internet existed.
