Question..?
Why do presidential candidates need financial donations in the first place? Why does it seem like the candidate that ~~grifts~~ gets the most money is more likely to win?
Where's the money go?
Political campaigns are essentially just advertising campaigns pumping up a single person, the money is used to buy ads, office space to organize, and physically move people from place to place. Plus money collected by the party for the national campaign with get used to support ad buys for candidates in down ballot races.
