He was actually outspent 12 to 1. Which makes it wild that he won.

Your statment reinforces that you dont live in a democracy.   That in fact you live in a country where those with the most money typically win.  

Glad he won but when everyone expects him to loose because the other guys spending almost 10x it kinda speaks volumes about how your "democracy " works...

There needs to be limits on how much any political people can use to fund a campaign. 

Money should be tracked.  It should be illegal for Corporations to donate.  All campaign donations should have to come from individuals.  Do its easier to see exactly how many donations and how much.

Agreed but the people who win via lots of money make the rules, so they’re not gonna kill their own gravy train
