I think that this primary shows are little money has to do with elections. Just look at the correlation of money spent, and percentage in the polls. All the people doing well are spending very little. Many elections are actually like this.
- zepto 11y agoI don't think this is representative of anything. Trump speaks in clickbait and that gets him media attention and hence popularity. You can easily argue that it's an innovative strategy, but he is only able to do it because he inherited his wealth.

- zepto 11y agoSure - he has done a good job so far in brand building, but his brand is predicated on him /already/ being rich - which is not anything he created for himself, rather something he inherited.
